My Cheap New Laptop Lost it's Cursor

[Carl in Michigan]

None of the "solutions" work for me.

The cursor started acting erratically, then disappeared. When it was there, moving the cursor caused the screen to zoom in. Then it just disappeared.

Yea the laptop is crap. Your touch pad is junk. Plug a mouse into it.

did you check the battery?

You probably dragged it right off the edge. Carefully shake the laptop and see if you hear it rattling around in there. It must have just fallen right off the edge and probably is laying on the bottom.

Yeah, I just found the cursor laying on the floor.

Im not sure how the new stuff works...but the older stuff the touchpad has drivers and they can get corrupted or need updating.

Do a search of your laptop manufacturer site to see if they have updated drivers to download.

Many years ago I actually ordered a little tiny cheap laptop on Ebay. I turned it on and it had Windows. In trying to sign into windows keys started coming off of the keyboard. Literally just typing in the information to get windows to boot up for the first time it fell apart.

I'd check the oil first.

Nah, hit it with some WD-40, obviously it's stuck.

I ordered this off Amazon. When I got it the battery wouldn't charge, so I sent it back. They replaced it quickly and it worked great for a couple months -- until yesterday.

I'm ordering my next laptop from Wish.com (joking -- maybe)

Sorry can't help you - only familiar with lap dancers being on top my lap and me cursing if I drop my drink.

What is your budget? Anemic laptops suck balls, brah.
Sorry if that hurts, but it's a fact of life.

The last laptop I bought was from a guy on craigslist many years ago. It still works great, but I need to replace the battery. Never had a problem with cheap before.
