Title: How to Contact a Manufacture for datasheets (SHARP)
Post by: ZZT on March 05, 2021, 04:36:11 pm

Hi,

I'm having a hard time locating a datasheet for a SHARP component LQ065T5CGQ1.
I found a document dated August 8th, 2008 that says the part is discontinued, and the suggested alternate part number is LQ064V3DG01.
Looking at the datasheet for this new part, I noticed it's not applicable to the part I have in my hands.
I've attempted to contact the support numbers listed on sharpusa, and a few of the numbers listed on global.sharp.
I can't seem to find any other contacts.

How would you normally contact a manufacture for datasheets that aren't available online?

Sharp was very fast to respond to my decades-obsolete LCD display request

I'll PM you the email I used.

Call the local franchised distributor. Manufacturers don't take calls from private people or smaller customers.

I was only able to get that contact url via a chip resellers support. I couldn't find any other contact information.
I'm calling a few of them to see if they have any other information too, while waiting for an email back.

Thank you for the guidance, it did take me abit too long to realize that contacting a distributor is one of the things I should attempt
