You can get more definitive information by going onto IBM`s site
and downloading the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the TP600, but
sometimes these errors are the result of a failing CMOS backup
battery. If you`ve never changed your CMOS battery, it`s probably
time.  BTW - if you have a completely dead backup batry, the
machine won't boot. Not fun!
