Critical Points
About the characteristics of the LCD panel
Note that the following symptoms reflect the characteristics of the LCD and imply no hardware
problem:
The TFT color liquid crystal display of this personal computer is made up of more than 441
million pixels (dots) (at 1,400x1,050 dots resolution) or 235 million pixels (at 1,024x768 dots
resolution) which are fabricated using an advanced technology. Consequently, the display
may have some pixels that will not turn on or that always stay on. Such pixels do not imply
any display failure and should not be regarded as defective.
The liquid crystal displays used in the personal computers of this model may have different
hues for reasons associated with the fabrication processes. Your liquid crystal display may
characteristically bear some color shadings due to changes in the ambient temperature.

Critical Points
The flat point may malfunction due to condensations or moisture formed on its surface. The
mouse pointer may not function normally if you manipulate it with a wet or sweaty hand or if
the surface of the flat point is dirty. In such a case, turn off the personal computer and clean it
with a soft cloth moistened with mild neutral detergent.
Depending on the application you are using, you may not be able to scroll the screen using
the scroll button.
