Whilst googling for some thinkpad err codes earlier, I came across this
site:

Thanks Tim ..
I had already checked that site but maybe I missed something ...
According to the IBM customer rep , who's knowledge was limited to looking
up information in his data base
The fix is to up date the bios .. but my whole system freezes up even the
keyboard but as I said I will keep looking
for more info ... hopefully some one here will have had the same problem and
found a fix
Thanks Again ...
