Understanding￿POST

When￿you￿turn￿on￿your￿computer,￿a￿routine￿called￿POST￿automatically￿ runs￿to￿test￿the￿computer￿components.￿The￿Samsung￿logo￿appears￿on￿ the￿screen￿during￿POST,￿if￿you￿press￿the￿ESC￿key￿while￿the￿Samsung￿ logo￿is￿displayed￿you￿will￿see￿several￿messages￿on￿the￿screen￿(see￿ “Boot￿Menu”￿on￿page￿54￿for￿information￿on￿disabling￿the￿logo￿screen).￿ After￿POST￿is￿successfully￿completed,￿the￿computer￿beeps￿once.￿

Screen￿messages￿are￿built￿into￿the￿computer￿to￿report￿both￿normal￿and￿ abnormal￿system￿conditions.￿If￿an￿error￿message￿appears,￿take￿any￿ action￿suggested￿in￿the￿message.￿If￿the￿message￿identifies￿the￿error￿ condition￿but￿does￿not￿suggest￿any￿corrective￿action,￿write￿down￿the￿ message￿and￿contact￿Samsung￿or￿an￿authorized￿Samsung￿service￿center￿ for￿assistance.￿(See￿“Troubleshooting”￿on￿page￿85￿for￿information￿on￿ contacting￿Samsung.)

Adjusting￿the￿LCD￿Display
