This error code means the BIOS Date and Time needs setting.
This is caused by a flat BIOS battery.
Replace the BIOS battery, it will be a battery with a lead and connector and the battery will have yellow plastic surrounding the battery.

I think it is a thinkpad error message related to CMOS battery, Try to enter the configuration utility and set the properly date and time. If this solve the problem you should replace the cmos battery.

I am getting an error code of 00161 and 00163 on my ibm think pad 2635

Error code 161 means your CMOS battery is dead and 163 is that system date and time are not set (which make sense as the CMOS battery is dead).
You need to replaced your CMOS motherboard battery to resolved this issue.

The 161 CMOS error means the CMOS/BIOS battery is dead/flat and needs to be replaced.
The 163 CMOS error means the Date and Time could not be updated when you change the Date and Time setting. This is caused by the flat CMOS/BIOS battery.
When you replace the battery with a new one, the BIOS will go back to the default settings, go into to BIOS setting (press F2 when you boot up) and change the Date and Time, then save and exit.

Error

I do not think you fixed the CMOS battery - (backup battery = CMOS battery) According to the error codes, you have a dead backup battery and the time is not set. Makes sense? 161
(Dead battery.) 1. Go to Checking the Backup Battery
2. Backup battery.
3. System board.
163
(Time and date were not set.) 1. Set time and date.
2. System board.

hope this will help.
