I just purchased a minolta dimage Z1, it powered up fine without a memory card, and it said no memory card, so I placed the memory card in the camera while the camera was on, I think I did something wrong. the camera won't power up now.

What type and size memory card are you trying to use? The Z1 works with MMC and SD cards, 2GB or smaller. It will not work with higher capacity SDHC cards, even though they fit into the slot.
Your camera came out in 2003, before SDHC cards were invented. Chances are, the 4G card you're trying to use is not an SD but an SDHC card and won't work in your camera.
Sometimes Z1 displays an hourglass icon and pretends it hangs. In such case you have to wait a while (sometimes quite long).
If it hangs without any signal for a user, I'm afraid there is some fault in electronics. Try to recognise if your card is OK and if the "last" photo is correctly saved. Maybe then you'll get some idea.
I had such phenomen a few times (out of tens of thousands of pictures). I always removed batteries and after that the camera was fully operational.
I have the same issue and am trying to fix it myself. The suggested solution seems to be reformatting, but making sure that you use FAT format and not FAT32 which is selected by default. I will try this myself later
Aodh.
