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

You may wish to adjust the LCD display when you begin using your
computer. A TFT LCD does not require adjustment for contrast
because the contrast is set to remain at maximum.
