If your bios is loading up completely then you need to reinstall the OS with a disk. If the bios is not loading up all the way you need to go into your bios and reset it to the defaults. If you can't access the bios you need a new motherboard and unfortunately with laptops it is cheaper to but a new laptop than a replacement motherboard. You can rip out the HDD though and put it into an external enclosure to get all your old files. then once you have all your old files off of it you can format the old HDD and you have an external HDD for future back up :)

SOURCE: IBM Thinkpad will not hold date & time.

Replace the backup battery and run BIOS Setup Utility to reset the time and date. This will resolve the issue.

SOURCE: IBM Thinkpad 600e (2645),error 189 and could not installing win98

Usually this means a hardware failure. I would suggest reseating the CMOS battery overnight to reset the system. Also you might want to replace it as well. It could also be more serious such as a motherboard component failure.
Also IBM error code # 189 according to Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing PC's (8th edition) - "Excessive incorrect password attempts." Is there a password on your CMOS ?
Also try hitting ESC key on boot to bypass. Good luck!

I have two errors appearing prohibiting the system to work

I would replace the keyboard first. You can get one on Ebay cheap. You may have cleaned it but it sounds like the keyboard has a short in it. Here is the repair manual for starters. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=migr-4dgntq. Let me know how you make out. [email protected] Phil

Thinkpad 600E

Error 19990301 on a Thinkpad 600 usually indicates that the hard drive is not properly connected, and error code 19990305 signifies "no bootable device". So, it's the hard drive.

First of all, I would try removing and replacing the drive to see if that cures it. You can get the service manual from Lenovo at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LWIK-3SYPX2

If this doesn't fix it, the hard drive is faulty. However, small size hard drives (10 or 20Gb) which suit these older machines are very cheap on eBay.
