I don't know chinese either, I'ld almost think you'ld have to get your info from IBM and you may need to flash the bios to get back to english if you can't get an interpreter or someone who can at least describe the cuniform look to getting back to english. Good luck.

Are you sure it is an error mag and not setup password in bios??
I would go to IBM website and find the updated in english bios and make a flash bios floppy. Then I would flash the bios.
DANGER-DANGER when flashing bios anytime there is danger.If you are not familiar with doing a flash either read everything twice at IBM on it or
take it to a GOOD pc shop to have it done.
The other work around is to change out the bios chip to a new one and reset the cmos and go.
Hope this helps.
