I have an IBM Thinkpad. When I boot up, I get an error of 192. I think it should be serviced? What is the best way to troubleshoot this problem?

You are right, it should be serviced. According tho the IBM Website (The vendor website should ALWAYS be the first place the check), Error code 192 indicates a cooling fan problem. The IBM solution is to take the computer to an IBM authorized repair facility.

To troubleshoot this sort of thing, you can go to the IBM website, click on "Support and DOwnloads", then "Thinkpad", type in your model and type number in the appropriate box [you can ind this on the bottom of the laptop], then search within that model for "192".

POST error code 192 is a fan error, but this may be from the backup battery going bad, the fan itself, or even a problem with the motherboard. Either way, it's like Tim said, have it serviced.
