Please allow an appropriate amount of time to perform the Rom Upgrade!
I estimate approximately 1-3 hours.
This includes the time to review the Rom Update Instructions, and follow all pre-emptive steps outlined before the process,as well as the actual update process itself.

3 Hours out of your day is better than a dead iPAQ that has to be sent in for service!
