Ibm T43
The system may still boot successfully, but may be unreliable or slow. Additionally, the following ATA commands are implemented by ThinkPad-branded drives but are not supported by most other laptop drives: UNLOAD IMMEDIATE (needed for the Active Protection System; see Problem with APS harddisk parking) SECURITY FEATURE SET (needed for disk password protection) Affected Models The "Error 2010" issue exists only on the following models: ThinkPad T43, T43p ThinkPad R52 ThinkPad X41, X41 Tablet Missing ATA commands affect all ThinkPad models which normally offer these features. Status The error is displayed when the system drive is not one of the few approved disks listed inside the BIOS, and may indicate a real problem. These systems have a SATA disk controller, and employ a SATA-to-PATA bridge in order to use PATA (IDE) drives. It is rumored that this bridge requires changes in the drive firmware, and the BIOS checks for this adapted firmware. If bridge is bypassed while using SATA, device will likewise be tested against whitelist. Recent BIOSs provide the option to disable the need to press Esc after the message (for ThinkPad T43 models 26xx, BIOS version 1.24 or higher). There are no such issues for disks used in the UltraBay Slim 2nd Hard Drive Adapter. IBM problem discussion Solutions Use unofficial modified BIOS On Nov 21, 2010 was released unofficial modified BIOS which removes '2010 ERROR' from POST when the machine boot-up with non-approved HDD - an HDD without proper IBM/Lenovo firmware. This modified BIOS is identical to the official IBM/Lenovo BIOS but the '2010' error message, 2x beep and delay is removed out. Discussion about this modified BIOS can be found on Thinkpads forum site here or on MDL forum here. Here are direct download links (saved by the Internet Archive) for each BIOSes. Please select correct BIOS according to your system type! ThinkPad T43/T43p - Machines only: 2668, 2669, 2678, 2679, 2686, 2687. Version: 1.29. Errors removed: 1802, 2010.

The problem was, these diagnostic codes were never really documented all that well. The codes that I am presenting here are 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 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.
