factory default
« on: January 19, 2004, 09:54:39 pm »
is there a way to restore a 5600 to its factory default? i think i screwed up a config file or three, and i can\'t seem to figure out which one, so rather than making myself nuts, i thought i\'d just go back to square one.

1) Move the switch on the back to \'Replace Battery\' and wait for it to turn off completely.
2) Move the switch back to \'Normal Operation\'
3) Hold down OK and at the same time press Cancel/On. A maintenance screen should appear
4) Select option 3 (\'Format\') using the D-pad and follow the on-screen instructions

Atfer installing OZ 3.3.5, returning to the Sharp ROM, and installing OZ 3.3.6 on my 5600 and inbetween installing (mostly unsuccesfully) a host of other software on there I suspect that my 5600 is less than clean. So I want to get a nice shiny new factory default 5600 as well.

However I\'ve tried the Formatting procedure mentioned above, and it just boots into OZ 3.3.6 again. Pah.  Do you think I need to reflash it with the Sharp ROM before I can do a factory fresh restore?
