Ibm Thinkpad 192 Error

Gives ibm thinkpad error codes options to test or reboot. If you press test, there are the following errors on the thinkpad 600 cmos battery 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 ibm thinkpad 600e cmos battery replacement systemboard. It's probably the cmos battery needing replaced. 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 thinkpad 600e error 161 163 scan, but in most cases it's a dying cmos battery. 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
Thinkpad 600 Error 192
F1 which should take you to the bios screen to check/adjust the internal date/clock, but 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...

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. After she got her
Thinkpad 380ed Cmos Battery
Powerbook I installed Debian on it and used it as a backup laptop. A buddy of ibm thinkpad error 161 163 mine needed a machine for a while so I lent him the Thinkpad. I eventually got it back a year or so later but it wouldn't cr1220 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 and found that this Thinkpad uses a very http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/tip-ibm-thinkpad-192-error-2-bleep-test-screen.222763/ 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 waiting for attention. The guy at Radio Shack was in awe of http://www.stonetable.org/2005/06/28/reviving-dead-hardware-ibm-thinkpad-600/ 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 wardriving setup.
