My DVD Drive was starting to fail and I wanted to see what type of connection was used on the rear of the units (IDE or SATA) as I had some spare units. I only looked at the drive; I never removed it or unplugged any cables from the DVD drive. When I replaced the lid and turned on the machine I re

Any time I try to enter the bios its refers me to the error message and http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/ibm-thinkpad-t41-176-error-system-has-been-tampered-with-1/ then the password prompt.Any help or ideas is much appreciated.Thanks in advance Share Flag This conversation is currently closed to new comments. 7 total posts (Page 1 of 1) + Follow this Discussion · | Thread display: Collapse - | Expand + All Answers Collapse - Go here by Tig2 · 10 years ago In reply to IBM Thinkpad T41 - 176 Er ... http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42321IBM confirms the error code you notes and has a solution on this page. If their solution does not work for you, I believe that they have a feedback mechanism that may help.Good luck!EDIT to add- in further reading, it may be that your system board had decided to die on you. If that is the case, you will want to take as little action as possible until you have either replaced the system board or spoken to a professional. Your drive may be accessible through other means to retrieve your files. You DO have a recent backup???Good luck! 0Votes Share Flag Collapse - Error Code by stevekirkland100 · 10 years ago In reply to Go here Thanks for that,However the IBM help suggests that under error code 176 I should run the bios and save any changes. When i attempt to do this the TP beeps twice and reverts me to the error message then password prompt. Does this mean its the system board? Or is there anything else I can do?Thanks 0Votes Share Flag Collapse - This is real

Jan 25, 2006 #2 Vigilante TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,666 There is not a ton of info on IBM BIOS recoveries. IBM did the bad thing of making their BIOS VERY SECURE! I had an older IBM then the ones you guys have, and ran into an issue one time. And from IBM's mouth they said if the master password and even the HDD password are forgotton, you need a new BIOS!! Of course, maybe there are ways to do it, refere to the DELL BIOS recovery thread on this same issue. But IBM is more secure and locks it right in with narry a way to remove. Just keep searching Google, an answer, good or bad, is bound to show up. But as far as I know, and this was a while back, IBM said the BIOS itself would have to be replaced. good luck fellas Jan 25, 2006 #3 Nodsu TS Rookie Posts: 5,837 +6 No, you cannot get around the IBM TP BIOS pa
