Code 189 isn't on the list I use for 600 series - the catch all 1xx code indicates System board failure

Numeric error codes - ThinkPad General.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

Many POST errors like this are caused by a dead or dying CMOS battery. Change this first, re-set the BIOS, and then let us know what happened.
