- 163 = Time and date not set.
- 164 = Memory size error.
- 215 = PS/2 motherboard memory failure.
-
- The first two usually happen when the battery starts to die and the CMOS
- settings get forgotten. Replace the battery and run the reference disc
- on the machine and see if they go away.
-
- The 215 error may be related, but if it's still there after you've replaced
- the battery, it's time to start checking the memory modules.
