FWIW, a combination of the Home key + power on button on the back has worked for me.

Note for the unaware - if you use shutdown -h on the zaurus you will need to remove the battery before the Z will wake up again.

Don\'t know why this is, but I remember reading this warning on Zaurus Message borad and DevNet back when I first got my Z.

Mine didn\'t even do that stu. It\'s worked fine for me in the past and yeah I\'ve had to remove the battery to power it up again, but this last time it wouldn\'t turn on again. The only thing I could do was get into the service menu. After multiple trawls around other forums I found that holding down D and B when attaching the battery would boot from an alternate partition / chip. This was enough for me to start up, use shutdown -r now and then get my Z to boot normally. I\'m glad it\'s working again but I\'ve been put off shutting down my Zaurus at all now.

That\'s really nasty - I hope never to come across that problem.

I don\'t shutdown unless I\'ve crashed something, and don\'t have another machine around to ssh into the Z and fix the problem, and then I use the Fn+Home shutdown. Mainly I don\'t like the time it takes to boot from shutdown.

I\'m also seeing difficulties with both charging and powering up my new C860, leading me to believe some SW/HW issue needs resolving, I\'d say one in ten times the system refuses to power on (the battery drains from 50% to 0% in 30 minutes WHILST the power is seemingly off, giving me no power to start the device up, also noticed the time had frozen to the time of the actual power down)
Sometimes instead of powering down via the case switch I just close the lid, does this perform the same action?

The only card present usually is a 256MB CF card (not using GSM/GPRS or Bluetooth cards)

roguetrooper, when you close the lid all that happens is the lcd goes out - it doesn\'t suspend. It\'s supposed to suspend after a while, but i\'m not sure that mine actually does.

For sure this machine has \"power issues\", it seems it\'s complexity reaches every area of the machine.... its a hackers dream
