I found PC-Doctor Service center manual in CD. but unable to find any instruction with picture or video.

pclaptech,

We do not have video tutorials.  The manual contains screen shots of typical tests.

The DOS tests will test basic video card functionality while the windows video tests do a more thourough Job.

Please take some time to read through the documentation and run tests in DOS and Windows.  You will find the system is very intuitive but like any new software it takes time to master.

I am asking about this card (I can not attached picture). How to use this card to test and also I do not know what to test using this hardware testing PCI tool card.

I am looking for some instruction for example

step 1 - Insert this card into motherboard in AGP OR Memory or any other slot to test

Step 2 - power up computer

Step 3 - read the value or power something like 5 volt or 7.5

Step 4 - If it reads 7.5 volts that means Video card is ok.

All I want to know how to use this hardware PCI tool came with my kits.

There is no clear instruction in the manual.

Please help.

pclaptech,

The post card instructions are printed on the back of the box it came in.  In general you inset it into a PCI slot, note the POST codes on power up.  If the system hangs and does not complete the boot process the post code displayed will give you an indication of what is wrong.  The POST codes are different for each type of system.  I use BIOS Central a link is provided here http://www.pcdservicecenter.com/support.php

You can cycle through the different LEDs by pushing the button on the card or remote display.  This will tell you the voltages present on the PCI BUS as well as the speed it is running at.  This can be compaired to the MFG. Specifications to see if it it within tolerances.
