- It sounds very much like the battery went kaplooie. Is there an error code
- included with that lovely beep? 162 is the standard IBM setup error letting
- you know tha something is amiss. You probably already know this but I'm
- always quick to check the obvious. If it is the battery you should be able
- to reconfigure your machine forcibly through setup and it should hold the
- setup as long as you don't coldboot the machine. If it doesn't keep setup
- after a warmboot then the problem probably lies elsewhere. Hope this helps
- ya out.
