 Quick facts:
• 1 Regardless of the motherboard brands and models to be tested.
No risk of causing shorts / damages to the motherboards by connecting the bundle of the jumper pins or converter
connector in a wrong way to the motherboards.
• 2. LPC connection fail safe design.
When the LPC pins on motherboards are over 12 or even 30 pins in total, no need to align the pin 1 on the LPC
diagnostic card to the motherboard LPC port pin1; That’s ok to connect the LPC diagnostic card to the motherboard
LPC pins the other way around. Either way, won’t short the motherboards.
Worry free and safe to install to the motherboard in the different way.
• 3. no need to collect a bundle of the different converters or connectors in advanced. That is difficult to pick up the
correct one among all the other converters for use; also easy to lost the converters as well.

PCI, PCIEX1, LPC, MiniPCI-E, Diagnose Card KQCPET6-H VI User Guide(version 1.0, April 28, 2016) 10
• 4. one card is all we needed.
Bonus saving life time upgrade support and first time annual free upgrade support for certain rare type
motherboards that need the special converters to work.
No need to keep purchasing the additional diagnostic cards or adding more converter boards time after time.
• 5. RUN LED indicates the working status of the CPU processor.
• 6. Precise diagnosis results, codes 31 won’t show as code 00 anymore, the diagnosis process continue after the
code 26.
• 7. Mobile and smart phone Apps support. User interactive multimedia enriched pictures and text descriptions guide
users how to use easily.

LPC large and small pin layout connectors
• Both large and small LPC pins connectors come with the Pin 1. This indicates the first pin of the LPC connector
• When using the LPC connector to diagnose the computer, align the pin1 from the tester LPC connector to the
motherboard LPC port pin1. This is truth for all different brands of the motherboards.
• The failsafe LPC connection. If the LPC pins on the motherboard are more than the 12 pins or more, just install the
tester LPC connector to the motherboard LPC ports regardless which pin to align with. Try the different connection
combinations until the codes are running on the tester unit.
• If cannot get the codes, please contact the support for assistance and the tester upg

• The following methods of installing the LPC diagnostic card to
the motherboards LPC ports are all correct:
• Regardless of the pin layouts on the motherboard, most of time, the LPC pins will not 100% use all pins on the
motherboard or sometimes just use some pins on the motherboard

DIAGNOSE CARD—’RUN’ LED
• The RUN LED relies on very few components on the motherboard to work. Its faulty rate is extremely low. Even installing the
diagnostic card to the faulty PCI slot or when all other signal LEDs are OFF, this RUN LED probably can still work and turns ON
to indicate that the motherboard used to run. So we can use this feature to help diagnose the following problems :
• the diagnostic card is faulty
• the diagnostic card is incompatible with the motherboard being tested.
• the diagnostic card been installed to the faulty PCI slot or to the other motherboard connectors that cannot run the
diagnostic process.
• the diagnostic card is having the poor contact with the PCI slot due to the following reasons: a. not probably installed to the
motherboard; b. the diagnostic card pins are getting dirty to provide the good contacts. C. metal pins are getting rusty.
motherboard is dead
• motherboard is executing the other command unrelated to the diagnostic process
• As soon as the CPU processor has run, this RUN LED will light, even though the CPU stopped working after the initial
CPU works.

How to deal with the Bios code “no” when using the PCI
interface?
• 1. the diagnostic card is having the poor connection with the motherboard PCI slot, the diagnostic card shows “ no “
suggested action 1. use a paper rubber to clean the diagnostic card pins.
as broken pins, bent pins … etc. We may try reseat the diagnostic card a few times on the PCI slot or use the other PCI
slot. If there is poor connection between the diagnostic card and the PCI slot, we may get the diagnostic card not showing
digital codes display, showing the wrong codes, LED lights not lit, Qiguan diagnosis codes report the normal computer
working signals as none.
• 2. CPU is not working, codes shows “no” and the RUN Led never lit.
Suggested action: check if motherboard is running, check CPU if that is faulty; check if CPU jumper or CPU settings are
correct; also check if power supply is supplying the proper voltages and if the motherboard CMOs battery is getting
corroded.
• 3. on some motherboards, missing RAM module, incompatible RAM or the RAM that failed to pass the tests will also
show the codes “no”. Suggest using the paper rubber to clean the RAM pins and clean the RAM slot and redo the test
again. Then check if there are other new codes on the diagnostic card.

PCI, PCIEX1, LPC, MiniPCI-E, Diagnose Card KQCPET6-H VI User Guide(version 1.0, April 28, 2016) 42
• 4. Faulty Bios on the motherboard
Suggested to reflash the latest Bios and test again.
• 5. Computer boots up ok but still showing “no”
Double check and make sure there is no poor connection and all the connections are ok. If still the same Bios code “no”,
the testing slot is not getting the Bios signal.
Suggested to use the other connector (PCI/LPC) to test again. Or use the diagnostic card on the other motherboard. As
soon as there are different codes showing on the other test slot or other motherboard, the diagnostic card is working

• 6.Qiguan diagnosis codes (only applies to the diagnostic cards that come with the 4digtit Qiguan diagnosis codes
display) that explained why there is no Bios codes.
Suggested to follow the Qiguan diagnosis codes to troubleshoot the computer and repair the faulty parts first.

What to do when the LPC diagnosis showing codes “no”?

•1.First check on the motherboard LPC port to make sure come with the following markings with LPC pins:
LPC-DEBUG, LPC, DEBUG, LPC1, DEBUG PORT, JLPC, LPC_CON, LPC-DEBUG, LPC/TPM1, JTPM1, TPMS1, TPM etc.
•2.next is to find the pin1 on the motherboard LPC port
•3.make sure above 2 conditions are met, then select the large or small LPC connectors on the diagnostic card and install the
card to the motherboard LPC port with the pin1 aligned.
•4.check if the diagnostic card is connected to the USB when installing to the motherboard LPC port
•5.if all above steps are done correctly and the diagnostic card still showing code “no”, motherboard LPC connector pins could
have been oxidized, try reseat the diagnostic card on the LPC port a few more times(Attn: remove the USB to the diagnostic card
and remove the power source to the motherboard when reseating the card on the LPC port). This can prevent the poor
connections from causing the wrong diagnostic result.
•6.CPU is not working, codes showing “no” and the RUN Led is OFF. First, check on the CPU if that is getting the power and is
running by touching the CPU to feel if it is warming up after powered ON.

PCI, PCIEX1, LPC, MiniPCI-E, Diagnose Card KQCPET6-H VI User Guide(version 1.0, April 28, 2016) 44
• 7.on some motherboards, missing RAM modules, incompatible RAM or the RAM that failed to pass the tests will also
show the codes “no”. Suggest using the paper rubber to clean the RAM pins and clean the RAM slot, reinstall the RAM,
then redo the test again. Check if there are new diagnostic codes displaying on the diagnostic card.
• 8.Motherboard Bios faulty, try reflash the Bios and do the diagnosis again. If not familiar with Bios update reflash,
please skip this step.
• 9.Computer boots up normally but still showing the code “no”.
Suggest to double check there is no poor connection on testing connectors and all the connections are ok. If still the
same Bios code “no”, the testing slot is not getting the Bios signal.
Suggested to use the other connectors (PCI / PCIE/LPC/MiniPCIE) to test again. Or use the diagnostic card on the other
