When I put it away it was working.Today I powered it up and it came up with the error codes 00161 and 00163 which I understood indicated a flat CMOS / BIOS battery.I replaced the battery with a brand https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Legacy-Laptops-A-I-V/Thinkpad-600-Error-codes-163-and-173-after-CMOS-battery/td-p/826761 new one, but was unable to access the Easy Start Up menu by holding the F1 key down when the laptop was booting.Every time I tried it, it simply went to the error page listing 00161 and 00163.Am I doing something wrong or is the system / mother board faulty ?Many thanks to anyone who can offer any help.
