How do i get onto the Easysetup guide?

i have a thinkpad 600e model 2645 but i have errors 173, 8611 and 163 on it. I know what my errors mean and i know how to fix them - by going on the Easysetup guide by holding down the F1 key. But because of my errors, it goes to an error screen as soon as i power on my notebookm, which means i can't get to the setup guide. Is there anyway i can get through the error screen to the Easy setup guide?
Thanks!

As you suspect 163 and 173 are easily fixable (especially if you fit a new CMOS battery). However 8611 is a system error that you need to do a bit more about. Download the Hardware Maintenance manual from www.lenovo.com and follow the daignostic procedure.
