Hi Jettphoenixx,

I suggest you go to www.ibm.com and download the User Manual, and you could also click on "Support and Download" tab and go to "Support home" or "Troubleshoot" tabs and type the product/ model and the error code you wish to fix.  

You could also diagnose the problem by doing these:  Run Configuration/Setup>Battery>System Board.  Just keep pressing F1 key while turning on your PC until you will be directed to the BIOS setup.
