When i turn on the laptop, it gives me 161 and 163 errors, i continue set the time and the date. hit enter and the screen turns black with a flashing cursor like im supposed to type something but when i try to nothing happenes. i have no disk or manauls.
Its the bios battrie is dead. simply replace the batt and it will work or just pull the bat set the time and it will restart then you will jsut have to do that every time you start up

Get a hold of an OS disk and when it askes would you like to boot from disk do it, it should fix itself if not try re-installing your OS im 99.8% sure that will work
Solution #3 worked great for me. I simply removed the battery ( located under the memory flap ) and once I hit enter at the date and time ... all went well. Just purchased a new batt once I had a chance.
Replace the internal battery and it will boot. This battery keeps the Date and Time. Without the battery the date and time cannot be programed and the computer will not boot.
Rippey574 got it right, in that it's a dead backup battery.
To access the battery, for replacement, remove the memory cover on the bottom of the laptop. un-plug the battery cable from the connector. Find a replacement battery(may need to get on with similar specs, and patch the old connector onto the new battery). and install it in the same position, using double sided tape.
As per the IBM hardware maintenance manual... this should solve those two issues. If, after installing a NEW battery, the errors remain, it's possible you installed your battery hack with reverse polarity. triple check now(it may already be too late, but it's worth trying to solve).
If the standard BACKUP battery replacment doesn't work, then it may be an issue with the motherboard(broken trace, exploded capacitor, etc) that will require time and skill... or if those are lacking, it becomes an e-bay for parts item.

I have the same problem. I would like to try the solution of changing the battery. I am not sure how to do that. I found the button battery and am hoping that is the one being talked about. However, it does not seem to be easy to get out. Does anyone know how to change this button battery?
