bhunaboy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I have an acer aspire 3610 laptop. I've had it for four months. Yesterday I couldn't get my pointer to move using the touchpad. I have reformatted the machine to it's factory settings and tried the fn/f7 combination yet the pointer still remains in teh middle of the screen. This is making simple tasks really dificult as I am used to using a mouse. Can someone help??? I've just started at college and I have some work due in that i cannot do thanks to this damn pc!

munky Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 It's entirely possible to use a PC without a mouse. If you can't, then have you tried pluggin in a USB mouse and using that. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhunaboy Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 What do you mean? Not help myself? I agree that I hated using the touchpad but very quickly got used to it. I dont want to buy a usb mouse when I should be able to use my touchpad. I dont expect things to balls up after only four months!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have really quoted yer post as above, as I meant that instead of lookin for yerself on how much they cost, yer simply asked and was happy to wait until bein told. The usb jossle on laptops, as far as im aware are pretty much operational or knackered, so if it has stopped workin, I don't think any driver or OS mods would help.

bhunaboy Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 I aint looked around cos I dont want one! I want my laptop to work as it should! If it's my only option then fair enough. Do you reckon I'll be covered with my guarantee? Should be. Shouldn't I??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
