Hello good.
Trying to fix problem 0175.
Searching in forums I found the following in Spanish:
https://es.linkedin.com/pulse/0175-bad- ... rez-arispe
The post says that by putting some cables in the parallel port it starts up, goes to DOS and applies an update to the BIOS and solves the problem.
Put the cables in the parallel port as follows:
14 - 11
15 - 9
16 - 12
17 - 13
20 - 25
The notebook starts up, it does not give the error 0175 but after a while it shuts down.
What I can be doing wrong?

Re: 0175: Bad CRC1, Stop POST task ERROR --> SOLVED
It is very easy to recover a machine with this error.
The following materials are required:
*One male DB25 plug for the parallel port.
*Cable
*A switch or jumper.
switch:

jumper

*A boot disk with the BIOS of the machine. It can be downloaded from the drivers page.
It does not matter that the battery does not work, the phlash command is used.
More info about the flash.
https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:BIOS_Upgrade
We build the circuit on the db25 connector by joining the pins
14 - 11
15 - 9
16 - 12
17 - 13
20 - 25 -> in the union of these put the switch or jumper.
We connect the dongle in the parallel port.
We short between 20 - 25 and while we do we turn on the notebook.
Release the switch / jumper when we see the screen with the IBM logo
Ready, the machine starts without problems.
Update the bios !!
Easy, fast and cheap !!.
I hope it works.
Tested on an A21m !!

Re: 0175: Bad CRC1, Stop POST task ERROR --> SOLVED
I had a T20 with the same issue - POST 0175: BAD CRC1, STOP POST TASK ERROR -
I can confirm the instructions below will SOLVE this issue. I took an old Parallel -> Centronics cable which had all 25 pins wired out. I used a continuity tester to find all the pin's wires below, and connected them together.
I then just touched the wires for 20/25 while powering on and basically it skips the CRC check.
I did find the T20 to be very picky about booting if it doesn't have a HDD/decent CR2032 battery to boot from and I used a dock to boot from a floppy but doing this parallel port wiring does indeed force the machine to skip the BIOS EEPROM CRC check so you can get beyond the message. I downloaded the BIOS from the drivers matrix and applied them using a floppy disk and problem solved!
I originally thought this was going to be a weird thing that worked for someone once in a specific scenario and I was wasting my time but actually turned out to be a great little hack which has saved another machine from landfill!
cheers
