Incorrect.  The release notes describe holding down all four keys
above the power button.

I agree with Daniel that you might have sufficiently old firmware to
require renaming the file from fs1.zip to fs.zip.  That should be your
next action.  I didn't detect the existing firmware version in this
thread, apologies if I missed it.

Incorrect when used in combination with the X game key below.  The page
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware describes placing the
bootfw.zip file on the media, not the q3c16.rom file.
