Like its close relative, the EL-5050, the Sharp EL-5150 is a far more powerful calculator than its unassuming appearance would suggest. It has a considerable amount of program memory, conditional execution and even a simple subroutine capability. Sharp EL-5100 The Sharp EL-5100 is a programmable calculator with 12 digits precision and algebraic logic. It has 60 keys, and one of the early LCD (liquid crystal) displays which incorporated a yellow filter. The power source is 3xSR44. The SHARP EL-5100 is a most awesome advanced calculator released 40 years ago (1979) and probably the most beautiful of them all in pure aesthetic grounds. I own one, which was a present from a close friend 11 years ago, and consider it unsurpassed in terms of elegance and sheer beauty, it's certainly one of the jewels in my collection. 1-844-578-1637 Sharp General Product Hotline (Non-Calculators): 1-800-237-4277.

Sharp El 5100 Scientific Calculator
If you have a Sharp EL-5150 that is no longer working, you can first try replacing the 3xCR2032 3V batteries. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you can consider replacing the calculator with a modern equivalent. We suggest the following current model as a replacement:

Sharp El 5100s Manual
The Sharp EL-5100 is a vintage calculator with formula storage. Up to 5 simple algebraic formulae (80 steps in total length) can be stored and executed. The machine offers no branching or conditionals, so loops or iterative programs cannot be entered. Nevertheless, it's quite an interesting and useful beast; the one I just received was obviously much loved by its previous owner.
I have not yet tried shoehorning my favorite example, the Gamma function into this calculator's formula memory; thanks to ten registers that can be used to store constants, it just might be possible to enter an expression of that complexity. For now, here's an improved version of Stirling's formula, one which provides a very good approximation of the Gamma function for large arguments (and a reasonable approximation for small ones):
