		<description>Hey guys, I have a great way to have the thinkpad always boot at a predetermined time WITHOUT pressing a button!

goto http://www.dennisbabkin.com/php/m_download.php

and download wake on standby.... works great on my 600X

well.... it did until I changed the cmos battery today, this resets bios, and I cant do anything without the onboard keyboard :( Anyone prepared to mail me their keyboard, I only need to borrow it, then I can mail it back.. Of course I will pay for this service...

If you can help, please mail me at heelers@tpg.com.au

TIA

		<description>I have the same problem upgrading the bios because my battery is dead so I looked around and found the following forum on how to upgrade bios without battery.  I have done it and the procedure works just fine.  BTW, just in case this website is no longer existed I have cut and paste it here as well.

http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/topic7229.html

Following is posted by tomasvilda on the above website.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have found a working solution WOW on the other forum: 

*** This is NOT a safe way to update the bios (disclaimer) *** 

* First you need to make a BIOS update floppy disk (from the bios file from IBM - place disk in a: drive, run app and answer Y to the agreement) and then format another disk by right clicking on A: - format - make system bootdisk (assuming you have another machine spare) 

* Copy all the files from the IBM Boot disk - in my case 
$0029000.fl1 
$0029000.fl2 
FLASH2.EXE 
PROD.DAT 
UPDTFLSH.EXE 
updtrom.exe 
USERINT.EXE 
UTILINFO.EXE 
to the other clean bootdisk. 

* Ensure that there is no config.sys and autoexec.bat so it just runs straight into DOS. 

* Place the disk into the Laptop, reboot and allow the machine to load via the floppy 

* At the command prompt, type &quot;FLASH2.EXE /U&quot; with no quotes then press enter. 

The program will automatically search for the files *.FL1 &amp; *.FL2 and load the bios first then the platform file. 

The program will automatically update and perform erasing on the rom and then finish with &quot;Update complete&quot;. 

* Now reboot. 

* Hold F1 down as you turn the laptop back on and go into Easy Setup under &quot;Config&quot; click on Initialize to ensure defaults and settings are error free. 

* Save and exit...</description>
