  • Patent number: 8074064
    Abstract: A testing and alert device for power leakages of a computer includes a basic input/output system (BIOS) chip located on a motherboard of the computer, a south bridge chip connected to the BIOS chip, and an alarm device controlled by the BIOS chip. The south bridge chip has a first general purpose input/output terminal capable of being coupled to a ground of an exterior power source. The BIOS chip is capable of detecting the input signal of the first general purpose input/output terminal of the south bridge chip and outputting an alarm command to initiate the alarming device when the input signal from the first general purpose input/output terminal is at a high level.

  • Patent number: 7818554
    Abstract: A motherboard assembly of a computer includes a motherboard (80) and an expansion device. The expansion device is connected to the motherboard. The expansion device includes a BIOS chip (10), a first connector (20) and at least one second connector (30). The first connector is connected to a socket (40) mounted on the motherboard. The second connector is capable of connecting to a burning device (90) for restoring the BIOS chip. The BIOS chip is connected to the first connector, the second connector, and to a signal choice terminal of the motherboard which acts to access the BIOS chip through the first connector and the socket such that the BIOS chip of the expansion device can replace a BIOS chip mounted on the motherboard to be accessed when the computer is powered up to be tested, thereby protecting the BIOS chip mounted on the motherboard being damaged in test.

  • Patent number: 7681081
    Abstract: A test device is provided for testing stability of a computer when the computer is started up or shut down. The test device includes a monolithic chip and a switch module. The monolithic chip includes an input port and an output port. The input port receives a high level or a low level signal from the computer. A test control module is disposed in the monolithic chip. The switch module includes an input pin coupled to the output port of the monolithic chip and a pair of output pins corresponding to the input pin. The pair of output pins is connected to the computer, for controlling the computer to be started up or shut down. The input port of the monolithic chip is connected to the computer for detecting a state of the computer.
