All Sharp PC1500 and PC1500A as well as Tandy PC2 pocket computers need to have the rotting compression strip removed as it will cause damage to the circuit board. The one in this video shows the beginning of the decay which appears as balls within the strip at 3:17 and 3:27 (bottom left of screen) next to the display chips.
A real POCKET COMPUTER, not as most Casio models. Even better: this uses standard AA batteries instead of button batteries, and it has a complete graphic dot=matrix display, i.e. you can draw continue graphics (for example a big bar), while on other modes there is only character graphics broken from character to character (for example you can't create a continuous line from 1st character to last screen character).
I used one in the 80s, I still have it. Must dust it off and have a play. Nothing but good memories of this machine.

Center negative. That's good information.
Where do you get new pens for these things? I have a PC2 with the printer cradle, and all the pens are dried out.
Have you searched on ebay? I would try office ink, for old reservour pens.
K, would you happen to know if Sharp PC-1500A be able to plot to a TRS80 PC2 printer Interface that is designed for Tandy PC2?
They are related, But I have not tested the assumed cross compability.
Hi, thank you for video, I am getting Error 22, when i type Cload, how to reset memory?
Beautiful!
Are there any resources for the assembler abilities?
