When I turn the machine on it freezes after the IBM Thinkpad Logo screen and shows ERROR 0175: BAD CRC1, STOP POST TASK. I've done quite a bit of research on this error online and on the forum here. After initially calling IBM support, they recommended that I buy and replace the CMOS battery. I replaced the battery yesterday, but I'm still experiencing the same error and the machine is still failing to boot properly. I now suspect that there is a malfunction with the system board. I researched and found another site last night (www.allservice.ro) that offers software to fix this CRC1 Error, but this requires soldering the eeprom chip underneath the RAM cards, providing a dump and rewriting the eeprom. With my lack of computer hardware experience, I'm afraid that if I do this, I could permanently damage the machine. I located one person, who was very highly recommended, that can repair the CRC error for $100 or replace the system board for $200, but this is without any guarantees that the CRC error will or will not return. Does anyone have any new advice on fixing this BAD CRC1 error for the T series? Is the cost of this repair worth it....? If not, I am considering buying another T21 and inserting my old hard drive into the machine for recovery. Will my hardrive (Hitachi Travelstar 20GB) be compatible with any T21 model? I can't currently afford a newer model, so I would use this other T21 as a band-aid until I can afford a T60 or T43. Do you think buying

Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Russelllk Thread Starter Joined: Dec 17, 2004 Messages: 7 Hi, I have a friend's IBM Thinkpad T22 machine that won't boot. The machine is running XP Professional. On bootup it gets ERROR 0175: Bad CRC1, stop POST task. In looking up google I have found an IBM solution to upgrade the BIOS to the latest solution. My problem is I do not have password information if it is required. I am interested if anyone has used the procedure and whether http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=33148 it works. It warns that you cannot stop haf way as you may do hardware damage. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-44186 thanks in anticipation Russell Russelllk, Dec 17, 2004 #1 Sponsor rockinmale Joined: Feb 7, 2003 Messages: 728 Im sorry, i hate being the bearer of bad news. The error 175 (Bad CRC1, stop POST task error) your receiving is not good at all. The only corrective action that ibm states about this error is to replace the system board/mb. A https://forums.techguy.org/threads/ibm-thinkpad-t22-wont-boot-error-0175.308904/ bios update is useless if the system board is faulty. Since you need it to post in order to install the bios update from a floppy. Here's a link to your error on the ibm website to see for yourself. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docvie...-4K2MCU&loc=en_US&cs=iso-8859-1&cc=us&lang=en Im sure the term FRU may sound alien to you, but it stands for field replaceable unit. I did a search on ebay and found some t22 system boards for around $100. Although, i dont know if you can handle swapping out the motherboard. Since laptops are more delicate and trickier to work on than a normal pc. So its basically your call if you wanna try to replace the system board. Although, i cannot guarantee that this will fix the problem. Im sorry for your loss, but at least now you know what's wrong. Good luck!

Problem is that the PC dies before it get to try rebooting. It appears that IBM had a design problem and did not think it through well. Problem is we have the problem PC with no software solution.

I let the laptop sit up for about 3 days waiting on the new hard drive. Now when I turn it on I get a post error 0175 bad crc1, stop post. Everything I can find online says that it is bios password locked, I have had this laptop for 2 years and it has never had a password installed, I put the old hard drive back in and it still says the same error, even without a hard drive installed, same thing.
