Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and the 
hard disk drive itself.
•	The data may be lost when an external impact is applied to 
the disk while disassembling or assembling the computer.
•	The data may be lost when the computer is turned off or reset 
by a power failure while the hard disk drive is operating.
•	The data may be lost and irrecoverable due to a computer 
virus infection.
•	The data may be lost if the power is turned off while running 
an application.
•	Sudden impact or movement to the computer while the hard 
disk drive is operating, may cause files to be corrupted or bad 
sectors on the hard disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, 
please back up the data frequently.
Cautions on preventing data loss (Hard disk 
management)
Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.
•	A hard disk drive is so sensitive to external impact that an 
external impact may cause loss of data on the surface of the 
disk.
•	Take extra care, because moving the computer or an impact 
on the computer when it is turned on may damage the data 
of the hard disk drive.
•	Samsung is not liable for any loss of data on the hard disk 
drive.

not generally affect computer performance.
Samsung’s quality standards for bad pixels are as follows:
•	Bright dot: 2 or fewer
•	Black dot: 4 or fewer
•	Combination (bright and dark): 4 or fewer
Cleaning the LCD screen
Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth dampened with computer 
cleansing detergent. When cleaning the screen, move the cloth in
