If we remove the card does it revert to the old firmware, or does it upgrade the firmware on the machine. It would make sense that it will flash the firmware and update the internal firmware, or does it just run from the card and always run from the card?

@wwang: It flashes the firmware. You can do whatever you like with the card after that.
@ColdSun:
- Get the Q7 v3.0 rar file here.
- Extract the SmartQ7 file. (should be already named SmartQ7)
- Move it to an SD card (FAT32 formatted card - most cards are already what you need.)
- Insert it into your powered off Q7
- Hold down the FUNCTION key (it's on the front, next to the + and - keys -- on the bottom, when you hold it in proper landscape)
- Connect the charger. You will see an orange LED light up. Release the FUNCTION key.
- Sit back and relax, let the firmware update (Chinese characters, ending in ... indicate it is flashing. If you see characters ending in a ! instead, you have some sort of problem.)
It will reboot itself into the new OS. You will lose any modifications you've made to your current setup.
