Service data relates the problem to either the backup battery or the system board. Error 163 means Time/Date were not set. Service data relates this to the System board. 1. Replace the CMOS battery 2. If the problem remains, replace the mainboard. You can downlaod the HMM (Hardware Maintenance Manual) from Lenovo's website with will show you how to replace the battery.
