LCD screen  
The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to  
excessive force.  
Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in certain  
locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal  
occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of a system  
malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise technology.  
However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels  
exist on each screen. Also, a distorted image may remain on the screen  
for several seconds after the system has been turned off.  
Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system's LCD screen.  
When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice  
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker than usual.  
This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return to normal when  
the temperature rises.  
Protect the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord from being walked on  
or compressed particularly at plugs and the point where they exit  
from the system.
