You need to reset the time in BIOS. The manual for your computer also states that. This manual is available at the following link:

Refer to Page #16 for this error message.

You can get into the BIOS by pressing the F1 or F12 key when the comptuer is starting up. Please note that some changes in BIOS may render the computer in a non bootable state.

On this BIOS screen, set the correct time and date and this should resolve the issue that you are facing.

This error message is generated when the BIOS Date and Time is incorrect. Go into the BIOS configuration to change the Date and Time. When you reboot and still get the same error message then the BIOS battery is flat and needs to be replaced and the Date and Time setting needs to be change to the current Date and Time after replacing the battery.
If you cannot get into the BIOS configuration (press F1 on bootup) or you get a lock icon in the top LH corner of the screen, this is a Power on Password symbol, enter the passsword to bootup the laptop and then press F1 to get into the BIOS configuration.

Your video card adapter might be damage. Or you have installed a wrong driver for your laptop.

Another cause of the problem is your RAM or memory might be damage. I suggest you buy a new memory to test it.

Thanks. Cheers!

Hi kingston_koa,

Getting different colors with vertical strips are common effects of broken LCD/screen. Broken LCDs needed to be replaced. With this one, the best thing that I can recommend you is to contact Lenovo specially if your machine is still under warranty. They offer free repair and parts replacement depending on your warranty coverage.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Hi sundar1968,


I see that your Thinkpad T400 machine is locked and you are unable to make use of the machine.

to be able to unlock the machine power the system on once turned ON you will see a Lock icon on the center of the screen just press and hold down the FN key for at least 5-7 seconds or if possible untill the lock icons shows that it is unlocked.

This should help you with your concern.

Have a nice day,
