How To Use It

Here is the complete sequence for using the Post-Probe to troubleshoot a non-booting system:

1. Turn off power and remove the case.
   
   
2. Plug the Post-Probe into any vacant bus slot.
   
   
3. Look on the motherboard and see what BIOS the machine is using, and find the table for that BIOS in the Post-Probe manual.
   
   
4. Turn on the power.
   
   
5. Read the code from the Post-Probe, then find that code in the table.
   
   
6. Determine what part is failing. If needed, look up the indicated section in the diagnostic chapter of the manual.
   
   
7. Turn off the power, and replace the failing part.
   
   
8. Remove the Post-Probe and try booting again.
