IBM 600e problems

I have a ibm 600e which I recently aquired from my friend who says it doesnt display a picture.

Anyways it does when connected to a monitor I can get a picture on the lcd screen. Any idea why it wouldnt want to display other than when it is connected to the external monitor?


Also there are 2 error codes that come up when booting it up. The 1st is 00173 and the second is 0063. Any idea as to why it is doing this?

Also rather than making another laptop thread I need help to find the latest bios update for a cf45 toughbook because unbuntu will not install on it with the 1999 bios on her. It needs a 2000+ bios year .
