I read the possible soluitons about holding down the F1 key the then restar and I even hold read the possible soluitons about holding down the F1 key the then restar and I even hold it down fro another minute after the error appears. Boot disk does not work...is there a solution. I tried both with the bdead battery in and out...any thoughts?
These error codes mean that the CMOS battery is dead, and also that the time and date needs to be set. Replace battery by opening RAM chip cover on bottom of unit. Gently pry battery out of it's black plastic holder from the bottom using a small flat blade screwdriver. Get a CP1220 CMOS battery from Batteries Plus or Radio Shack (less than $4.00) and gentlly pop it back in. Restart the computer and hit "enter" when the error codes come up. Set the time and date and you should be OK after that. NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO PRY OUT THE BLACK HOLDER ITSELF OR YOU WILL RUIN IT!!
Are you trying to access the Bios set up? I own the IBM ThinkPad 380Z, 13" full Screen, 233MHz Pentium II model. If you power on the machine and just hold down the Q button it will then take you to easy set up. If you have Windows on it just wait to the IBM logo screen clears and press and hold F8 and that will bring you to Windows setup.

When booting up the HP, press the F10 key to enter the BIOS. There, scroll to 'System Configuration' where you will see 'Action Keys Mode' Change this from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled'
And the "normal" function of the F1-F12 key (and your sanity) will be restored!
Hold down the F1 key, then, while continuing to hold it down, press the power switch. the system will turn on, then prompt you to check system and press F2 (thats from memory, it maybe F1 again) to enter BIOS. With many Toshibas you can hold down any key to do this, as it simply generates a keyboard error, prompting the same message. Hope this info helps.

1. Turn on computer by Holding down power button while pressing the ESC key. The machine will beep, then display: Check System, then press [F1] key. 2. Release ESC key 3. Press F1 key
you must hold down the F10 key( for system recovery) when you turn on computer. hold down as computer starts up,hopefully it will then repair itself and boot up. If not,start up computer holding down F12 for advanced diagnostics and run some test!! Good luck
