0192 System Security : embedded security tampered in Lenovo X61

AFter powering off for a couple of hours, I pressed the Power ON
button & immediate got the message
"0192 System Security : embedded security tampered ..."

Went into F1 BIOS to disable a number of security & security
password & then attempted power cycling but it did not help.

Googling around, saw some notes saying the motherboard needs
to be fixed.

Anything else other than fixing the Motherboard or replacing the
onboard battery?

It's certainly not HDD related: I took the HDD from this X61 &
insert the HDD into an old X60 (yes, I got this X60 from a 2nd
hand dealer) & it boots up fine & start detecting all the different
hardware parts on this X60: however, this X60 has a few parts
that's not working:
1. the SD slot is certainly not working even with a HDD that's
newly installed with Win XP
2. the Volume increase & decrease buttons are not working
3. a few keys are bit loose

This X60's HDD that comes with a good bootable Win XP was
inserted into the X61: still the same System Security issue
& won't boot.

So, yes, my data on the X61's HDD is intact but I simply wants
back that X61 as the X60's parts are not so good & full of
scratches everywhere.

I've tried re-seat the RAM & in the BIOS (press F1), it detected
the full 2GB RAM in the X61 : no joy with re-seating RAM

For the cost of changing the motherboard, guess I'll just go &
hunt around for another 'newer' used X61 for US$130

Still a CPU board issue that had to be replaced
