Sharp OZ-630 No power. I hit reset get message" working- please wait" but will not power up

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/

no sorry once the data has been deleted it is gone.

My 3 year old Sharp LC-40C32U would start up fine but within a minute would go dark (audio continued fine). For a while I could turn the set off and on again and it would be fine, but over time this became less effective. My solution, which has worked for a week now, was to a) unplug the set's power cord; b) after 3 minutes plug it back in and turn the set on; c) on the remote hit MENU and slide over to SETUP (3 clicks to the right if the screen is dark) and one up to RESET; d) hit ENTER and follow the prompts. This puts the set in it's factory configuration so you will have to rescan for channels. Worked for me.

When you held the start button down and pressed the reset, did you get a message appear ? as per the manual

The [H4-00] system error popped up when the power went out of the house. I called Sharp tech support (1-630-378-3590) and was talking to their tech support in less than a minute.

The FIX? Just press the following keystrokes:
# * C * This will clear the display error, now press…14, then press the green button twice. This should let your printer start to warm up and you have fixed your problem.
