- You need to change the battery

Re: IBM Thinkpad 600 - Error 173 and error 301
Well, you need a new battery.

Here is the description of the battery:

Checking the backup battery: Do the following:

1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter from it.

2. Turn the computer upside down.

3. Remove the backup battery

Note: Removing the battery backup will cause loss of configuration data unless the battery pack is installed and operational.
(see "Checking the battery pack" on page 11).

4. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.
== in the image is a button cell with attached
== cables and connectors.

If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
If the voltage is not correct, replace the backup battery.
If the backup battery discharges quickly after replacement, replace the system board.

Wire Voltage (V dc) Red +2.5 to +3.2 Black Ground

Hi,

If only the power-on password is set, do the following to remove the power-on password.

1) Power off the computer

2) Remove the DIMM (memory) cover on the bottom side of the computer.

3) Short-circuit the two password pads** or put the jumper. (???)

4) Under the short-circuit condition, power on the computer and wait until the POST** ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The power-on password is removed.

5) Reinstall the DIMM cover.

I did all that but I still get that error. What should I do?

Re: IBM Thinkpad 600 - Error 173 and Error 301
You have to change the battery but keep your power cable attached and don't switch off the power, so that it won't know that battery was changed and it will behave normally...

Re: IBM Thinkpad 600 - Error 173 and Error 301
1. Select OK in the error screen; then set the time and date.
2. Backup battery.
3. System board.

Re: IBM Thinkpad 600 - Error 173 and Error 301
