immediately, it may malfunction while reading.
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme
temperatures, mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight.
Cleaning

moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never spray cleaning fluids directly on
the unit.

it checked by an authorized HP service provider.
