This typically is due to the lithium battery running out of juice and needs
to be replaced. The battery is a TADIRAN TL-5242 3.6V High Energy Lithium
Battery. You can either pay through the nose to get it from AT&T or check
out a PC magazine to find the name of a computer battery supplier who may
carry this type of battery. You will have to remove the card cage from
the motherboard in order to install the replacement.

This may be fixed by using the IDTOOLS diskette that comes with the AT&T
3B2 Maintenance Reference Manual. There is an option when using this
diskette for fixing a disk's sanity. Otherwise, at the worst you might
have to reformat and partition the drive, etc.
