Error 00301?

another dumb thing i discovered is that if you leave the ibm 600 series e or x in a cold place the bios battery or watch like battery will freeze a little causing this problem and it will give the error 301! sometimes its not keyboard related! if anyone is storing their laptop in a garage or cold place simply set it in a room and let it heat up with room temp! then try booting again! COLD BATTERY DON'T WORK! LOL!!!

Spray the keyboard with Servisol or a similar contact cleaner spray. Then work all the keys hard for a few minutes. It worked for me

Okay, I'll take that back... 00301 is key stuck error, i agree xD Seems that my laptop is dying or something =(

I have the same error on my 600e... When i'm testing the hardware in BIOS it won't comlete tests on RAM and harddrive.. So... Wild guess, but those might be damaged in some way? At least i think that's the reason i get the 00301 error.

Just gave mine a drop from about 4 inches off the floor, and now works a treat. Seeing as the 600 Series is nearly undamagable.

ok key 07 is the F12 key on your keyboard, you can test you keyboard by pressing Ctrl+A when your on the systen test screen, you could buy a new keyboard or try to fix the bad key(s.

I just bought a ibm 600e and I also am experincing the same error codes #00301. I would like to know the answer too. I checked the keyboard and found not problem. I did get past this error for the time being. just reboot and when the error come up, 1) press contro/alt/delete together and just after you release 2) PRESS ENTER BUTTON. this bypassed the error for now. I am still trying to figure this problem out

I do not believe that it is a stuck key. I checked all of them and it does not seem to be the problem. I even tried plugging in an external keyboard to see if I could bypass the laptop keyboard, but It did not help. Now I keep getting errors that say 78 301 = not ok ---> IBM and it seems to be a different number every time. This time around I got 07 301= not ok---> IBM. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

301 is a keyboard error, usually a stuck key. I suggest you go around the keyboard working each key in turn and then try switching it on again.
