I have a 600 that a friend that dropped off...and wanted me to fix...

well....

I boot up the thing...and get these errors...

192 (fan error)

173 (<-- don't know this one)

and 163 (<-- don't know this one either)

What are the other 2 error codes???

and is there a way to fix this without reflashing bios???

I don't had a Floppy drive or anything for reflashing...

At this point...I'm going to have my friend bring it to a laptop repair shop that is near by...

I just want to give the man...the information about what the error codes are...

thanks,

The other error's are cmos battery error's you kneed a new cmos battery, located next to the ram, VERY easy to install, I can email you a complete thinkpad 600 maunuel, contact me by email.

You just need a $10 CMOS battery.
