Hi! Has anyone encountered this error on the IBM Thinkpad 600E? I read from the net that this is a keyboard error. I am currently using an external keyboard because some of the keys of the internal keyboard are no longer working. Unfortunately, I think one of the keys got stuck and now the laptop always goes to the test screen every time I open it. While I can bypass the error and proceed to load Win XP, everytime I click on a program (ex. MS Word), it opens the said programs over and over again until the memory is all used up.

I am wondering if there is a way to disable the internal keyboard and just use the external keyboard which I am currently using. I saw some cmos modification to disable the trackpoint (the red pencil eraser-like rubber on the keyboard) but couldn't find one for the internal keyboard.

Thanks!

With all due respect, would it not be easier to find out which key(s) are stuck and unstick them?

The only way I know of on most laptops to disable the internal keyboard is to unplug it.
