This is a pointing device error when the Track Point II is enabled.
To fix (per IBM's maintenance manual) try these steps in sequence -
1. Reseat the Track Point II cable at the interposer card.
This is inside the computer next to the top of the system.
You'd have to do some disassembly to get at it.
2. Replace the keyboard.
3. Maybe you have an external mouse and it is bad..
Try unplugging it.
4. Replace the system board.

This means your battery backed up configuration data were lost.
1. Select OK on the error screen then set the date and time.
2. Replace the little back up battery (not the big one that
runs the computer).
3. Replace the system board.
