A type of
expansion card
(either
ISA
or
PCI
) which can be installed in a
computer
to
display
the result of the computer's
POST
(
Power-on
Self Test
) on a small
LCD
or
LED
readout
. This is device can be extremely
valuable
to any computer technician because it allows him or her to view the value that the POST returns without a working
monitor
. This is not only important for logistic reasons (lugging around a monitor to each computer to be tested) but also because certain an error returned by the POST could have something to do with a monitor not
work
ing. It is true that the computer's speaker will often
beep
the POST code out in a sort of
poor man's
Morse code
but, the speaker may not be functioning and secondly, counting all those beeps can be a
major pain
.
