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 a second T21 is worth it? Or are these T-series machines fatally flawed? (Mine worked very well for four years, but I'm wondering if this is their life expectancy.) Please let me know if anyone has any viable advice and thank you in advance!

Thanks Tim .. I had already checked that site but maybe I missed something ... According to the IBM customer rep , who's knowledge was limited to looking up information in his data base The fix is to up date the bios .. but my whole system freezes up even the keyboard but as I said I will keep looking for more info ... hopefully some one here will have had the same problem and found a fix Thanks Again ...

Should I be replacing the lithium backup battery? or would that cause this error message? I have also read that it is ibm thinkpad the eeprom chip that is corrupt. I can't get to the IBM BIOS setup Utility, or the temporary boot devices. Any ideas on how I can fix this or what the problem is? Thanks, Brandon brandonscott11, Dec 15, 2006 #1 Mada_Milty MajorGeek Yes, it may be caused by a dying CMOS battery, and for the cost of one (approx. $5 CDN), it ibm thinkpad error is typically worth eliminating as a suspect. They are usually CR2032s, and can be found at most electronics stores like FutureShop, RadioShack, The Source, etc. You might also test your memory. I recommend Memtest86+ for the job. Mada_Milty, Dec 15, 2006 #2 brandonscott11 Private E-2 Thanks for the Advice, I tried a different stick of ram in it and it still had the same error, I also removed the lithium backup battery overnight and put it back in this morning and still get the same screen, are the lithium backup battery and the CMOS battery the same thing? Thanks Again, Brandon brandonscott11, Dec 15, 2006 #3 kjb125 Private First Class Yo...i think its going to be a motherboard issue (ahh..time to replace/fix) Here is were u can find IBM error codes: http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/sit...LWIK-3SR4PW&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempselected=5 kjb125, Dec 15, 2006 #4 kjb125 Private First Class just put your error code into the search bar on the Support and Downloads page...your code is at the top, i believe!! kjb125, Dec 15, 2006 #5 (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)
