Gives options to test or reboot. If you press test, there are the following errors ibm thinkpad error codes on the systemboard: DEV 001 ERR 91 Fru 3610 Which is basically IBM speak for 'What the??'

be the 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 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 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...

You should take this to an authorized repair shop and have them to fix it. (just my advice though) Here is IBM error code page. IBM errors Dodge View Public Profile Visit Dodge's homepage!

Please reply if you know more about this, if you had a similar problem. Thank you. Mihai Error 192 could be due to three main things: 1. CMOS battery flat. 2. Cooling fan stuck/faulty. 3. Main board fault. Do you also get any other errors, eg., 161 or 163? If so, then the problem is very likely a dead CMOS battery (I just replaced the one on my old thinkpad 600 by coincidence :-). If not, see if the cooling fan is clogged with junk, and try cleaning it. Failing these two, it's time to take it to a servicing centre - they might just need to relace the fan if you are lucky ;-) Cheers, Mark MarkH View Public Profile Find all posts by MarkH #4 December 30th, 2005, 08:33 PM myhayk New Member Join Date: Jul 2004 O/S: Windows XP Pro Location: TX Posts: 7 CMOS Batery Sorry for taking my time to reply here but thank you so much for the advice. Could you please tell me what batter do they have so I can buy it before I actually open the laptop? Is it however, hard to change ot you just take the keyboad off?
