Syncronizing the data from a Sharp OZ-650 to a new computer

This personal organizer model by Sharp has been discontinued. The model has been around for at least 8 years. Most of the DIY repair tips for it constitute taking an alcohol swab to the battery contacts to clean them. I doubt you are going to find schematics to use in conjunction with a multimeter with it. The black screen likely is indicative of a hardware failure. There is a low probablity you could get data from it transferred to a PC. But rather than distract you with what is likely to be a deadend activity, you might contact Sharp.

Still, here is data transfer info: https://manualsdump.com/en/manuals/sharp-oz-640-oz-630-oz-650/256401/79. Possibly the data may be held in a flash component regardless of the battery state. And although the device may be available on Ebay for between $14 and $23, I find no schematics that might enable one to swap out parts to retrieve flash data, a somewhat imaginative solution probably requiring using of a soldering iron at least. Somewhere, a SHARP technician is rolling over in his grave at the plausibility of the idea. But I'm not the first to think of that: https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12553&start=0

From page 99 of the manual for the device, the following support contact information is provided. For a SHARP representative: 1 800 BE SHARP. For the SHARP website: www.sharp-usa.com. For the a fax: 630 3789987. For writing to Customer Assistance: 1300 Naperville Drive, Romeoville, Illinois 60446 , To Wizard Help. Given the age of the device and the likely age of the manual, I'd try the website's customer assistance contact information. It is possible a Sharp repair center might be of assistance although the item is discontinued. The good news is that newer models of the device are supported yet so some technician there may be helpful. https://www.sharpusa.com/

Hi Pat,

and with the indulgence of otacon and Ekse...

You would need the Docking Module and the attached COM1 cable/plug.

You might find this page/document very informative if not interesting. Should you need the software (Day-Timer Organizer), it is available here. Additionally, a Q & A about OZ750 is here.

Hope this be of additional help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Please be sure that you have a charged battery (If the battery has been stored for too long may be low) and then follow this procedure.
Please let me know if you need more help.

I have a a Sharp yo-480. I've fixed sticky keys many times. I back-up data in the organizer first. (yo-480 doesn't have a flash memory) then carefully dissasemble unit. Lift out rubber keypad and use WD-40 to wipe circut board and keypad. It's the sticky residue that makes the keys stick

You should be able to transfer files using the Data Loader or the Downloader (the new software) via a dubbing cable. If this is not possible you have to go via PC using the Wizard Organizer.

According to the YO-370 Operation Manual:

What To Do If You Forgot The Password -
When you have forgotten the passord for the SECRET function, you have to delete the password along with all secret data by selecting "DATA DELETION" from the Function menu. Once the password is deleted, a new password can be entered. Follow the procedure below to delete the password (and the secret data along with it).

1. Recall the Function menu (2nd, FUNCTION)
2. Select "3 DATA DELETION", and press v (3, v)
3. Select "3 SECRET DATA". (3)
The delete prompt "DELETE ? Y/N" appears
4. Press Y (To retain the data, press N)
When Y is pressed, both the password and the secret data are deleted, and the initial display for the previous mode in use will reappear on the display.

Just use the menu key and delete secret data..this erases the password and keeps all other data.
