Qiguan Diagnosis Guide with Stability Test Instructions Qiguan© Computer Motherboard Diagnostic Test Cards come with 2 different diagnostic methods below: ‘The Traditional BIOs Diagnosis & Factory QIGUAN® Diagnosis, All digital display units on the Qiguan PC diagnostic test cards show BOTH Bios and Qiguan diagnosis codes together; generally a total of 6 digits. Please look at the tester unit board carefully. There is indication of “Bios” and “Qiguan codes" right near or under the display digits. We need to refer the Bios codés to the Bios manual for the code descriptions, and lookup the Qiguan codes from the following Qiguan code tables, Mostly, we can use the Bios diagnosis, we only use'the Qiguan diagnosis when the Bios code shows “NO”, or we want to get more reference ‘There are 3 situations that the Qiguan PC test card will show the Bios code : "N 1. The CPU and/or related parts are faulty. 2. The tester completed the test and returned the test result to the first part tested, the CPU. 3. Some laptop Bios designs may not get the BIO POST signals to the laptop WIFI miniPCle devices, so the laptop test card is not getting the Bios POST signal from the laptop. When we get the Bios POST code "NO", we can look at the other 4digit Qiguan codes and use the Qiguan diagnosis method QIGUAN Codes Descriptions Look up method Please pay attention on the following listing tables of codes, actually there are 2 different code list tables below, these 2 tables are the LEFT 24igit and the RIGHT 2uiait code tables. (The codes on the 2 lists may look the same, but the meaning and description are different. So please pay attention not to mix LEFT-2digit and RIGHT-2digit table codes.) EXAMPLE: Giguan Code ‘04F3 ‘Step 1: separate this code nto two sets of2-it code, ‘04’ and 'F3, the LEFT 2d is “04” and the RIGHT 2digt is "F3" ‘Step 2: Go tothe following Qiguan codes table ~ the LEFT 2digits. Check the meaning of code(04 | POST card aidn't detect resetting signal, RESETLED always on or never flash on. Detals: see the “Term Descriptions" below after this table, Term 12° ‘Then please look atthe corresponding Term 12 at the Term Descriptions section after the codes list tables for answer. Step 3: Go tothe following Qiguan codes table ~ the RIGHT 2digits. Check moaning of code 3 3] POST card didnt receive BIOS code / Have CLK signal, No IRDY and FRAME signal.
