The card has a digits display that shows hex codes, each hex code correspond to one stage of BIOS, but it also depends of the bios manufactures (award, ami). For instance the Post Code FF would mean "checking the functionality of the CPU". Caleb Cushing wrote: > how, where would I get one of those? and ESD may be a factor...
