CMOS RAM (RTC) test failure??
We are running tests on a Lenovo R61 laptop that is blue screening
Everything passed except the RTC tests
CMOS ram test (sequential) = FAILED
CMOS ram test (random) = FAILED
IS there anything that can be done to resolve this with a laptop?

imo, no, but it can be the cause of them
you can check if the chipd is properly soldered (try flexing the board a little)
or reflow the chip
but normally, you need a new chip = new board

You may be able to reflash the bios if you can get that far, resoldering the bios chip is a pain, but if you have a friend with a soldering Iron, the part is about $5 on ebay.
