Does anyone know where I can get a rechargable lith battery for a SHARP handheld computer? I looked around Yongsan Elec. Market and couldn't find any place selling SHARP products despite a banner on the outside of the building.

Yes.

You can get one in Itaewon. Bought one with a female friend a month ago. I really laughed at the battery brand-name -- dudu-cell! hahahah!

There is a little electronics store which is located in the small alley which juts off of the bottom part of hooker-hill. Let me try some directions:

Start at Burger King in Itaewon (located right outside the subway). Head down the street towards hooker hill (heading in the opposite direction of Hamilton Hotel). About 20 meters or so, there is an alley which turns left. That is where the base of "hooker hill" begins. Take that alley up until you can make your first right-hand turn. That alley is where the electronics shop is. Go down that alley, and it will be almost immediately on your left.

Bring the computer dictionary with you for proper fit. Or at least the battery. You don't need a "sharp" battery. It's sort of like a watch battery, and different brands are fine as long as it's the right size. The guy at the store will know. He doesn't speak english, but you shouldn't have any problems if you just show it to him.

Now you owe me -- I expect a date with the girl in the picture!

Sorry, the girls all tied up.

Thanks for the info.
