you are removeing the battery and power before pressing d+m right?

Yep. In fact I've tried 3 different procedures -- the 2 outlined here:
[a href=\"http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3100howto.htm]http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3100howto.htm[/url]
And the seemingly simpler method on page 30 of TriSoft's quick start guide. The 3 procedures are detailed below:
1) Power down the Zaurus and remove all power sources (no AC adaptor and remove the battery!). Set the battery switch to the "Offen" position and wait for at least 5 seconds. Then connect the AC adaptor and put back the battery. Hold down the [D] and [M] keys and set the battery switch back to "Betrieb" (while keys are pressed!). After a short moment the diagnostics menu should appear.
No service menu, boots into pdaXrom.
2) If not, try it again and this time hold down the [D] and [M] keys before you restore the power (AC adaptor / battery).
This procedure was tricky, how do you keep the D+M keys pressed whilst inserting the battery and plugging in the AC power? Anyway I tried it a few times and I think I managed it, but still no service menu
3) Set the battery switch to "Offen" and wait a couple of seconds. Connect the Zaurus to a power source (USB cable or power supply), hold down the keys "D" and "M" and switch back to "Betrieb"
Now this one doesn't explicitly say remove the battery, if this is correct, it would be a easiest to perform. But still I couldn't get the service menu.
Sorry if this sounds stupid -- in all 3 methods it doesn't explicitly say you have to press the on/off button (as a last step) -- I'm assuming that you do because if it wasn't pressed then nothing happens.
What is the "official"/definitive method of accessing the service menu?
