IBM thinkpad 600x error 00301

[kwatrochi]

Hi,

I have an IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad-600, yesterday i got an 3a 301, error 00301 during startup, my thinkpad back ground with a blue error box appears with ERROR 00301. I know that 301 is a keyboard error however the key pad is working well. but my question is How can I resolve the error ?

301 error is normally due to a stuck key on the keyboard. The 3a code in front of the 301 is telling you which key is the problem. or You may simply have a bad keyboard or you may have a bad keyboard decoder chip on the motherboard.

You can see this pdf document for more details on Ibm thinkpad 600x error, or Using a PS/2 keyboard in the mean time should keep you up and running until you can find a proper replacement , or forever if you don't care to replace it. You got a 3A error 00301. For your information the code 3A is related to key M.
