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!

I was using it a few minutes ago and in the middle of my work it just shut down on its own. I tried turning it back on but it won't. I thought it was a power problem. I removed the battery and plugged it in. Nothing happened. I put the battery on again and turned it on. It was ok for a few minutes and turned off again. I pressed the power button one more time and before it would turn off I was able to press the F1 or F2 button for the BIOS. It says "Error 0175: Bad CRC1, stop POST task." What is that? Is my motherboard fried? Can this be fixed? I really need your help. Thank you so much I have a T20 Pentium III with Microsoft XP Pro. I have this qu
