Patent ID: 7339368

Claim:
A method comprising: placing a circuit board on a test sheet so that conductive pins on an underside of the circuit board are in electrically conductive contact with electrically conductive contact pads on an upper surface of the test sheet, the test sheet including connectors at a periphery of the test sheet which couple the test sheet to test signal generating devices; and applying test signals to the circuit board via the test sheet; wherein said applying includes coupling each of a plurality of peripheral devices to the circuit board via the test sheet and using each of said peripheral devices to apply test signals to the circuit board, said plurality of peripheral devices including at least three of: (a) a video card, (b) a keyboard, (c) a mouse, (d) a memory card and (e) a disk drive, said coupling of each of the peripheral devices to the circuit board being such that signals are allowed to be conducted from each of the peripheral devices to the circuit board.
