Micro 2000's Post-Probe is built to stand the test of time. This is not some $50 bit of plastic from China! We have customers who have had the same card and used it over and over for 8 years plus!
It has EISA, ISA & PCI slots on one card.
It is easy to use. (There are not a lot of dip switches on the card that you have to set for every BIOS.)
It has a post step button that allows you to cycle through all displayed postcodes one at a time up to the point of failure. Other post testers may only show you one error along the post.
It has a PRE-Post Test. Two LED's monitor clock signals and oscillator signals, making it easy to determine synchronous operation. Additionally, the LED's are on separate circuits, making it easier to spot the difference between clock chip and crystal failures.
The Post-Probe manual is incredibly well written. It contains over 245 pages and we don't just give you the BIOS manufacture post test descriptions (something you could get free from the BIOS manufacturer), but we reverse-engineer the BIOS to give you most detailed information - so when you get an error code you can actually find out what it means!
And there are no dodgy Chinese to English translations either!
Post-Probe will still work if the CPU is not working on the computer. Post Probe will go in and verify that the CPU in bad and let you know if the motherboard will burn out another CPU. This way you will not burn up any more CPU's. Other post testers may not work if the CPU is bad on the computer.
You only need to buy it once! There are no 'updates or upgrades' needed! The Post Card stays the same. All that is needed to upgrade Post Probe is a new manual with all the latest postcodes.
Product Features
UNIVERSAL CAPABILITIES- With the multitude of PCs on the market, the best way to be effective is to be universal. The Post-Probe PCI has a dual edge connector to work with either ISA OR PCI. The Post-Probe has the ability to function on various port addresses, depending on the bus type.
POWER SUPPLY MONITORING - 5 LEDs to monitor power supply. Also includes 4 voltage pads to test actual power under load with the use of a voltmeter (+5vdc, -5vdc, +12vdc, -12vdc). An extra LED has been added to monitor the 3.3v from the PCI bus.
CLOCK AND OSCILLATOR MONITORS - Another 2 LEDs monitor clock and oscillator signals, making it easy to determine synchronous operation. Additionally, the LEDs are on separate circuits, making it easier to spot the difference between clock chip and crystal failures.
RESET SIGNAL MONITOR - One LED monitors the Reset signal. This allows a reset to be seen during POST, which may indicate a short on the motherboard.
I/O READ & I/O WRITE MONITOR - Two LEDs monitor I/O Read and I/O Write, distinguishing between read and write failures. Also monitored are Memory Read/Write to distinguish between address line failures and memory chip failures. This feature is especially beneficial when working with older BIOSs that don’t emit POST codes, such as DTKs and older XTs.
HEXADECIMAL LED DISPLAYS - Hex display on each side provides improved visibility, regardless of slot orientation.
COMPREHENSIVE MANUAL - Covers BIOS POST procedures for almost every PC on the market today including: AMI, Award, Zenith, Chips & Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, MR BIOS, Phoenix, XTs and DTKs. Each manufacturer’s POST list contains the test description and a reference to the Troubleshooting section of the manual. Detailed troubleshooting sections give details on prime components on the motherboard as well as their functions.
CARRYING CASE - For easy storage and transport. |
