Customers like the quality, diagnostics, and accuracy of the motherboard. They mention that it's a great tool to quickly diagnose PC problems, and that the measurements are precise and steady. That said, some complain about the ease of use, saying that the manual introduction is hard to read and not understandable for the most part. They also dislike the codes, and display. Opinions are mixed on performance.

Works well.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

Pretty nice little unit. Tried in both ISA and PCI and it helped me diagnose 2 different motherboards problems. One has a clock issue and the other had a dead short. I found and fixed the short and am waiting on parts to fix the clock.
Having the ribbon was really nice as there is no way I would have been able to read the codes as the card ends up facing the bottom of the machine. On my ISA machine it faced up so I could read both the card and the cable. Double check that the rear label on the card faces the rear (back) of the motherboard/computer (follow the arrow).
The manual introduction was hard to read but the codes themselves are good enough. Make sure you know your bios manufacturer which is likely printed on a chip on the motherboard or will flash when you power it on.
I give this 5 stars because it works. Seriously considered giving it 4 because of the manual but it works so well it deserves 5. Just be careful and make sure you put it in right.

4 ways to plug it in wrong, only 2 ways to plug it in right

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

There's a lot of reviews mentioning that their card lets out the smoke when powering up and failing to work. Most are blaming this on poor build quality, but I suspect that the issue is poor design and documentation. There are precisely 2 ways to plug the card in correctly, and at least 4 to plug it in wrong.

Correct #1: Plugged into an ISA slot with the "ISA BUS" label side, and the "REAR" arrow pointing towards the rear of the PC

Correct #2: Plugged into a 5V PCI slot with the "PCI BUS" label side and the other arrow pointing towards the *front* of the PC. Note that this is the only orientation it can be plugged into a 5V PCI slot because of the notch in the card.

Fail #1: The "ISA BUS" side of the card plugged into an ISA slot backwards. This can be avoided by ensuring that the "REAR" arrow always points to the rear of the PC when using the ISA bus connector.

Fail #2: Plugging the "PCI Bus" side into an ISA slot. This one should be pretty obvious

Fail #3: Plugging the "PCI bus" slot side into a PCIe x16 slot. This one is an easy mistake to make as many newer motherboards don't have any PCI slots. It's a design fail by the manufacturer because they shaved off a few pennies by making the card narrower than a regular PCI card. If the PCI bus fingers were the proper width, it would not fit into a PCIe slot.

Fail #4: Plugging the "PCI bus" slot side into a 3.3V PCI slot. This is probably the most serious as the documentation fails to mention the distinction and actually incorrectly documents this as the proper configuration. 3.3V and 5V PCI slots use a different notch to make sure that PCI cards that only support 3.3V only fit in a 3.3V PCI slot, 5V only cards only fit in 5V slots, and cards that support both fit in either slot. Physically, the slot itself is just rotated 180°. 5V slots have the key away from the back of the PC, 3.3V slots have the notch towards the rear of the PC. Almost all older PCs have 5V slots. Some newer PCs have 3.3V slots. The card itself actually fits perfectly into a 3.3V slot *if* it is rotated 180° and plugged in backwards. This will cause many shorts of signal lines to ground or power.

The documentation not only fails to mention the distinction, it actually has the instruction "Notice: the component side should face to the power pin". This is correct for plugging into the ISA slot, but incorrect for plugging into the PCI slot.

I haven't tested these 4 fail configurations to see if they actually lead to smoke. I suspect at a minimum #2 and #3 would. #1 and #4 may, but protections within the card and motherboard may prevent actual damage.

Great for PCI (NOT PCI-E); External digit display allows reading when placed sideways in buss

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

Can be used on older ISA bus and PCI buss only; NOT on PCI-E buss. Supports AMI, Award, Phenix, and IBM BIOS that send error codes on 80H, 84H, and 300H ports. External digit display allowed card use in either type buss slot (vertical or sideways card orientation depending on connector type) while still being easily readable. The 2-pin connector allows attachment to an external speaker for noisy environments, but it does have an onboard buzzer. 4-digit display shows current and prior codes. LEDs indicate presence of +3.3v, +5v, +12v, -12v, reset, frame, IRDY, CLK signals. The manual is written in "Chinglish" and is hard to read but is relatively understandable.

BIOS POST error codes are a life saver

Verified Purchase

This device works great and the remote LED display is helpfull when the card is upagainst another card or the chassis making reading the built in display difficult. I used it to diagnosis a couple of PCs where the BIOS didn't POST, turned out to need the RAM chips reseated.

My husband loves it

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the second of three diagnostic tools I got my husband for his birthday that has already paid for its self. One of the systems my husband built was having problems which usually means the motherboard has to be sent back to the manufacturer for testing or replacement. He was able to test and diagnose the problem rather quickly, then was able to repair the problem. He loves how easy it is to use, with a digital display that he can read.

Great to debug old ISA computer... *OLD 3.3V PCI only, not modern 5V PCI*

Fortunately I purchased for ISA computer use, as the PCI portion is not usable in modern PCs. Ensure you watch the notch carefully!
