96 - Troubleshooting
*Previous boot incomplete – Default configuration used
Previous Power On Self Test did not complete successfully. The Power On Self Test will load default
values and offer to run Setup. If the previous failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not
corrected, the next boot will likely fail also. If using the default settings does not allow you to complete a
successful boot sequence, you should turn off the power and contact your support representative.
*Real time clock error
Real-time clock fails BIOS test. May require board repair. Contact your support representative.
*Shadow RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected. You are risking data
corruption if you continue. Contact your support representative.
nnnn Shadow RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of shadow RAM in kilobytes successfully tested.
*System battery is dead – Replace and run SETUP
The BIOS CMOS RAM memory hold up battery is dead. This is part of your BIOS and is a board mounted
battery which requires a support representative to change. You can continue operating but you will have
to use setup utility default values or reconfigure your setup utility every time you turn off your notebook.
System BIOS shadowed
System BIOS copied to shadow RAM.
*System CMOS checksum bad – Default Configuration Used
BIOS CMOS RAM has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that
changes data stored in BIOS memory. Run Setup and reconfigure the system.
