    Any Ideas?

    This just showed up on a CF-30K3PAXAM after running the XP recovery DVD. Heartland just updated the bios to V3.00L20 / V3.00L17. Is this related to IBA GE Slot 008 V1324? This is listed in the Bios under Boot override. :confused:

    Hi Shawn

    I tried the Modem without success. I did just notice the yellow mark on the Intel Management Engine interface PCI bus 0.Device 3Fuction 0 the device cannot start
    code 10

    The PCI Simple communication controller says the drivers for this device are not installed Code 28 PCI bus 0 Device 3 Function 1 Bad Hardware?

    If you go in device manager, click on the pci simple communications controller, go in properties and then go in details. You will see a code like per example PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS
    The VEN code means vendor and the DEV code means device: in my sample the vendor is 8086 and the device is 27D8.
    Once you have the two codes, go to www.pcidatabse.com. Enter the two codes and you should get the name of your
    hardware. From there you can search for a driver download for your hardware.

    Hi Shawn

    It turned out to be the conceal mode setting in the bios….It was disabled but the LED were off. I enabled the conceal mode and turn all on….Fixed! Two days out of warranty. I feel Lucky :)
