NOTEBOOK ANALYSER CARD

It is easy to install, yet extremely powerful to use. With Diagnostic Card in

hand, you no longer have to go through tedious and time consuming process
of trying to figure out what is wrong with your PC hardware. The Diagnostic
Card will tell you exactly what is wrong with your PC in just seconds. It saves
you time and money.
Our new and improved design of diagnostic card can work with
almost all popular types of CPUs, Motherboards, and BIOS.
All though we try, it is not possible to update this manual every time
a new motherboard is made by the manufactures. It is always advised to visit
the bios manufacture website, and download the latest codes per bios
revision.

TO INSTALL Diagnostic Card:

1) For laptop use, may require the removal of a wireless card in

expansion slot of motherboard service port located on the bottom access
door of most laptops.
2) Install the Diagnostic Card in the Mini Card PCI-E slot or Mini PCI
slot.
3) Power on the machine.
4) Observe POST CODE from BIOS.

NOTICE:
This test card supports Mini PCI full slot, Mini Card ½ slot (PCI-E),
(PCI Express), or LPC port access to the motherboard BOIS. Only one port
at a time can be connected.

TIPS on USING the CARD

Use this card to troubleshoot your motherboard problems.

Sometimes your computer will not boot.
Use this diagnostic card to see the POST (power on self test) codes
that the BIOS commands the motherboard to perform. Each motherboard
has a BIOS chip which is a device that initializes all hardware components
on the motherboard such as CPU, memory, video card, etc. During the boot
up sequence, your BIOS will also generate what is called POST80 code.
Each code can be referenced in a manual supplied to help determine the
problem with the motherboard. If your code is NOT LISTED in our manual,
chances are you have a newer motherboard. Visit the manufacture of your
BIOS and download the manual of your BIOS direct. In most cases, where
the last post code is displayed on the POST card is generally the problem
area. For example: If you have an Award Bios on your motherboard, and you
install this card. Turn on the power to your computer.
Your computer stops booting, but the POST card shows a code of
“01”. This could mean you have a faulty CPU on your motherboard because
the BIOS told the CPU to start, but the CPU did not respond. If a piece of
hardware does not respond during a boot sequence, then the motherboard
will not finish POSTing.

Troubleshooting During POST

After initial power up, Power-On Self-Test (POST) codes begin

displaying on the Diagnostic Card’s hexadecimal displays (for most
machines).

POST Codes

When the machine is turned on, the hexadecimal display should

show the various POST codes as the system executes (unless it has a rare
BIOS that does not display POST codes).
If the machine does not boot, system POST has detected a fatal
fault and stopped. The number showing in the hexadecimal display on the
Diagnostic Card is the number of the test in which POST failed. Refer to
following list of Error Codes.
