Now the screen just blinks and goes off. Perhaps the wrong kind of
batteries, or perhaps they're dead.
These are rebadged Sharp Pocket Computers. The ancestors of today's PDAs
and calendar/planing things. Looking at current line from Sharp, I note
that none of them are programmable. What a loss.
I had a slightly similar problem with my PC-1403H. Make sure the power
switch was put back together properly.
Anyone interested in this?
Yep. It was one of
the first computers I ever programmed on, lo those
many years ago.
