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.

many years ago.
