Title: Zaurus C1000, C3000, components datasheet?
Post by: DiTBho on February 25, 2025, 07:40:38 am

hi
I remember there were datasheets and partial schematics about the components used in Zaurus C1000 and C3000.

Unfortunately I am not able to find them.

I am going to repair a dead C3000 motherboard
+ flash to be desolder and replaced
+ dead microdrive
in the process I will also desolder the IRda port, and reuse the serial contacts for something else.

Let me know  :)

From what I have read in a couple of older posts here, no service manual has even been released for any Zaurus SL model, unfortunately:

I have done a Google search in both english and japanese (by searching for zaurus 回路図 = schematics and サービスマニュアル = service manuals), they seem to not have been released recently, too. Sharp has only released some HW infos on the earliest models, though no schematics: http://support.ezaurus.com/developer/doc/hardware.asp

I have searched in my local copies of the forum and the old ELSI webpage, too, to no avail.
I hope to be able to put back the old Zaurus wiki online soon, maybe there could be some info about this. It would be also interesting to get in touch with some old Sharp employee or official Sharp repairing services which might have a copy of the manuals, we can host them here.

BTW, not related, but I have found some hires scans of Zaurus related pamphlets and catalogs here: https://galapagosstore.com/web/book/search/result?sw=zaurus&res=false

isn't there a collection of datasheets about the chips and components used in C1000, C3000?

I don't know where they might have been/are still available, I have never seen them. I hope to be able to put the wiki back online sooner or later, maybe some info might be stored there:
