Anybody remember what these error codes mean in a 380ED Thinkpad: 00161 and 00163. I am suspecting a dead CMOS battery, but this was originally a Windows 95 machine, and hasn't been booted up for 7 years.
When you first turn it on, 161 and 163 come up in the upper left corner. Then they come up on a big box, white with blue inside, a hand in a circle with a slash and big letters ERROR. The numbers 00161 and 00163 are listed below. Of course it has a dead battery; it hasn't been used in probably four or five years. We had the power cord connect when the failure occured. Could this be a code for Dead CMOS battery? Or worse? RayBay ________ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. . . . . . . . . .
