Tools used:

Micro-Scope Software and POST Probe card

How tools help:

Takes the guess work out of diagnosing PC's that don't POST. I have been using an Micro 2000 POST Probe card for several years now. I bought one originally because I wanted to know more about what was happening on boards that wouldn't give a display, or when beep codes just weren't enough to go on.

Examples:

The POST card helped us repair two PC's that wouldn't start in one hour. I have used the POST Probe card probaby 1000 times or more since I got it. It has some very advanced features, such as testing the PCI bus and core voltages, along with giving very detailed information about where in the POST test the error is happening. It is indespensable for pinpointing keyboard controller errors, disk controller errors, RAM errors, BIOS errors, VGA initialisation errors, and more. I have actually used this card to repair mainboards rather than just telling my client the board needed to be replaced.

Tips:

We make sure to get the appropriate BIOS codes making notes if the version differs from booklet. I would highly recommend this card to anyone who is in the business of servicing PCs. If you are serious about it, you should really get one of these and learn to use it properly.
