Ibm Thinkpad Error Codes
IBM used a system of diagnostic codes to diagnose trouble spots in a given ibm thinkpad 600e cmos battery replacement computer. The problem was, these diagnostic codes were never really documented all that well. The codes that I am presenting here are thinkpad 600 error 192 from documents I have read through, found on the web, found in old books, documents and technical papers. As a computer technician, I rely on documentation to guide me through these types of messages. Therefore, I

hope to provide this to all those other technicians out there who get the opportunity to work on one of these. And, yes, people still use them and some refuse to give them up. The method for reading these codes is pretty straight forward. The first part of the error code indicates the device that is causing the trouble. The second part gives the meaning of the error. You can think of the
Ibm Thinkpad Error 161 163
first part as the test code and the second part as the fault code. A fault code of 00 indicates that no problem was found. Thus 200 means the system memory was tested. The 00 means that no fault was found. 201 would mean a memory error. 202 would mean memory address error; lines 00-15. This page is rather extensive and will be updated on a regular basis. Like all the other codes out there. If you know of any error codes that I am displaying incorrectly or that aren't here. Let me know and I'll get it corrected as soon as I can. Thanks to Mike Rose for erors 129 and 229!

on June 28, 2005 by Adam I had an old IBM Thinkpad that I bought used at a local computer show for Dena. A Pentium II 233Mhz with a 5G hard drive and 192M of PC100 RAM. Not exactly high end but hey, it's a Thinkpad and it was fairly cheap. thinkpad 600e error 161 163 After she got her Powerbook I installed Debian on it and used it as a backup

laptop. A buddy of mine needed a machine for a while so I lent him the Thinkpad. I eventually got it back a year mac address or so later but it wouldn't boot. Instead it greeted me with the BIOS error code "161, 192, 163″, which is computer speak for "What the fuck, I can't remember who or what I am." I did a little googling http://www.bioscentral.com/misc/ibmdiag.htm and found that this Thinkpad uses a very standard battery for CMOS, the CR2025, which can be bought damn near anywhere. I picked one up at Radio Shack for under $3.50 with tax. Getting to the BIOS battery is painfully easy. Remove the cover housing the memory and pull the top piece of memory. You might be able to work around it but why bother. From there, you can disconnect the battery lead and pull it free. It's just sitting there http://www.stonetable.org/2005/06/28/reviving-dead-hardware-ibm-thinkpad-600/ waiting for attention. The guy at Radio Shack was in awe of the yellowness of the battery. Apparently he's unfamiliar with modern marvels such as "shrink-wrapped plastic". In any case, we'll be cutting off the plastic coating shortly. Cut away the plastic coating. The negative and positive leads are stamped into the surface of the battery so you have to pry them off carefully. I used the flat blade of a screwdriver to work the lead away from the battery. Putting it back together is a bit of a cheap hack but it seems to work well enough. I cut small strips of electrical tape to secure the leads to the battery. I made sure to wrap the exposed leads to the wire so that there is no chance of them coming into contact with each other or anything else metallic in the case. Then I wrapped the entire thing for safe measure. Putting the battery back in place is easy, just reverse the process. Tighten it up and you're ready to go. The first time you power it up you'll get another BIOS error code, this one telling you that you need to set the date/time. It's an ugly screen but it works. This quick and simple hack has given this old Thinkpad a new life. Armed with a fresh install of Ubuntu and a wireless card, I'll be rigging this up as a semi-permanent member of my wardriv

Gives options to test or reboot. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/tip-ibm-thinkpad-192-error-2-bleep-test-screen.222763/ If you press test, there are the following errors on the systemboard: DEV 001 ERR 91 Fru 3610 Which is basically IBM speak for 'What the??' Don't panic and think it has to be the systemboard. It's probably the cmos battery needing replaced. https://www.wimsbios.com/forum/notebook-bios-and-other-problems-f38/ibm-thinkpad-600e-bios-problems-163-173-t6331.html This is a backup battery which keeps the system clock in time. Yes, an out of time clock on your desktop can mean you have a virus, so it's worth doing a through scan, but in most cases it's a dying cmos battery. ibm thinkpad They should be 3 volts, so if you test your existing battery with a volt meter and it's low, better get a new one. New batteries are very cheap and in fact if you have the ability any lithium battery CR2025 should work in a 600e - a guide to how to fit these are on the web, but there's a good discussion of www.stonetable.org. If you can on boot up press F1 which should take you to the bios screen to check/adjust the internal date/clock, but ibm thinkpad error it probably won't work with the 192 error, but once you've fitted a new battery do this and make sure the time/date is correct. Nevertheless, as my battery was not totally dead, I could force the IBM to boot into windows from the IBM Test screen by pressing 'reboot' and then pressing F1. Don't know why, but the laptop would then go into scan disk mode, perform a scan then boot up. I have to adjust the clock time, but once booted, the system works fine, with no errors. Odd, but okay while I'm waiting for a new battery to arrive. bahjan, Oct 15, 2008 #1 (You must log in or sign up to reply here.) Show Ignored Content Loading...
