Post-Probe

Post Probe is a universal post reader for ISA, EISA, PCI or MCA, all on one card. Displays POST BIOS codes to quickly diagnose and repair a 'dead' PC that won't boot.

How To Use It

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

Turn off power and remove the case.
Plug the Post-Probe into any vacant bus slot.
Look on the motherboard and see what BIOS the machine is using, and find the table for that BIOS in the Post-Probe manual.
Turn on the power.
The Post-Probe with now run through it's tests and show up any failures as a code.
Read the code from the Post-Probe, then find that code in the table.
Determine what part is failing. If needed, look up the indicated section in the diagnostic chapter of the manual.
Turn off the power, and replace the failing part.
Remove the Post-Probe and try booting again.

What our customers say:

"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."
