The above test error message figures faced me when I switched on my laptop after several months non-use. Could anyone tell me what they mean - and what I can do about them? They show up in the test routine as a system board fault.
Thank you all thank you. This has saved me big time :)

I said this already replace the cmos 2025 battery but didnt tell how. it looks like a watch battery and is wrapped in yellow plastic and has 1 red n 1 black wire unplug it and plug the new 1 back in. it may be located under the main batt. or close 2 the memory under a plate with one screw.

Replacing the Battery with a CR2025 was exactly the solution!
Works greatly.

That's probably the CMOS battery dead, accessible by pulling the little wires beside the memory. Get a watch battery of the same voltage and replace it and you're in business. More details available in the manual mentioned above.
