Hello !
One month ago, I bought a T1200, it was working perfectly. It's only problem was that the HDD gets stuck after some time, but nothing a little swing didn't resolved. A week ago, I booted the computer and it showed me : A checksum error occurred in the configuration RAM
It asks me to select if the computer is either a 2 floppy or 1 floppy + 1 HDD system, so I choose the option with HDD ( I also tried the other one) and then the computer reboots and shows the same errors and option.
At first I was just thinking that one of the 2 internal batteries that went flat, so I got a rechargeable Ni-Mh battery from a cordless phone. I got it today and plugged it in, but to no success, the computer is still telling me checksum error and reboots to the same error after I choose an option.
The other internal battery still is over 4v and the computer booted without it anyway when I was cleaning/testing it when I got it, so that battery shouldn't be the problem. I read the manual multiple time on minuszerodegrees but it doesn't say anything useful about that. I hope it's not bad ram that's causing this as everything is SMD in there. I dismanteled and disconnected everything too just to be sure it wasn't a bad contact.
Thank you in advance.
