Problem with ibm laptop

Hi,
Error 0250 means that the BIOS battery is dead and has to be changed, they are usually located hidden in the memory panel underneath the laptop and can be covered in red, blue or yellow plastic.

To boot into windows hit the F1 key when you see the IBM logo, go into the BIOS utility and set the time and date, save the changes and exit the BIOS, make sure you have AC power plugged in when you do this as it will not remember the time and date and you will have to do it again.


Good luck.
