I have an Acer Intel S5 with Windows 7 installed. I had the same problem, that my mouse touchpad & screen FROZE. I couldn't even turn off the power. I did a Google search & followed all instructions to fix the problem, but none of them worked. All was not lost. I just waited the battery to impoverish & the computer is off. I then plugged the power supply & noted AMBER light, showing that the power was connected load. I continued my work on my desk, & after a few hours, noted the amber light goes out & turned BLUE, having shown that it is fully charged. I had no problem if the laptop is turned on by the normal method, & all systems, touchpad mouse was working 100%.

Hope you find it useful. Give it a try & put your comments on this site or on Facebook. Cheers, Lionel. "down Under, Perth WA.

  • optical mouse is frozen on the screen

    XP Pro - optical wired mouse symbol is frozen in the middle of the screen. No manipulation of the mouse causes the symbol to move. No change on several reboots. The machine is Vostro 220 HP. The mouse works normally on another machine. Can anyone help?

    What is a USB mouse? If this is the case, it is correct, or "find new hardware", if you unplug it and plug it in again?

    Hello

    You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
    the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

    You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
    The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
    Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
    CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
    field efforts.

    Here's a video of one of them.

  • NB100 - mouse cursor flies around the screen

    Hello

    So, I bought the NB100 and noticed that something was not right but stupidly put upward with her for over 2 years. Now he is just really annoying as its happens more frequently and, possibly, gets worse!

    Randomly, the mouse cursor flies around the screen, by clicking at the opening programs and files, etc. The only way to stop it is to turn off the laptop holding down the power button. She also does when I plug in a usb mouse (and disable the touchpad) so I assume that it is not the hardware, but I have reinstalled as the driver...

    Usually, if I turn the laptop on its always crazy but if I start it in safe mode its fine. This made me think I had a virus but I did a scan and nothing shows.

    In addition, I don't think that turn it off by holding the power button down is very good for the system that sometimes, when I try to turn it back on, it doesn't load at all (just a black screen with the cursor).

    Help, please! I would be eternally grateful...

    Thanks in advance, Nadia

    need you pretty much time to fix. My advice is to reinstall Windows from disk image or hard drive recovery. Please, understand me, it's easier and quicker to reinstall rather try to fix it.

  • My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen will not change, we do not know the password or have we not the reset disk, how can connect to reset password

    My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  • HOW IS IT MY MOUSE JUMPS AROUND ON THE SCREEN, OR STOP SUDDENLY

    my mouse jumps all over the screen, and it suddenly stops moving.

    Test your mouse on another PC. If the problem persists, the mouse is defective.

    Test another (known working) mouse on your PC, if the fault persists your PC is faulty somehow.

    It's a mouse laser (light rather than a rolling ball works)? If it is try different a surface or a mouse pad. Some surfaces, e.g. mouse pads and mousepad hologram photo will lead crazy optical mice.

    If it is a bearing ball mouse, clean the rollers inside.

    It is USB, PS/2 or series? Wired or wireless? Check the battery if wireless.

  • Laptop has frozen on the download of the Update step 3 of 3, but never goes beyond 0%

    Original title: download freezes

    My laptop has frozen on the installation of your last update - when you switch on it says download stage 3 of 3, but never moves beyond 0%.  I tried your advice on restarting in safe mode but still the same thing, then toggle, light up again and continues in a loop!

    Hi NathanielPortland,

    Method 1:

    You can read the following article and try the steps.

    The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Method 2: When you're able to start normally, check the history of update to discover the update has failed as a result of the article:

    See the Windows updates are installed

    Method 3:

    If there are updates failed, then try to download and install the stand-alone package with updates from the Microsoft Download Center.

    a. to download updates from the Microsoft Download Center

    b. Enter the item number in the field search and download the same.

    c. double-click on the downloaded file.

    d. click on run and follow the wizard to install it.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Qosmio G30 pink pixels on the screen - what can I try next?

    I have a qosmio G30 on the white parts of the screen were pink pixel in them as well as purple pink pixels around parts.

    In reading the various posts, I have eliminated the graphics chip/card that I can get a perfect image on an external display. The laptop is out of warranty and also out of the extra year for graphics problems, so I tried to fix it myself. I tried all of the solutions below and none have worked.

    I wonder if anyone could give me any other things to try.

    I've updated the BIOS and the display driver - no change.
    I then replaced the motherboard to the LCD connection with a new cable - no change.

    And finally, I have replaced the LCD screen with a new - again no change.

    -Always works fine on an external monitor.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think you're talking about dead pixels.
    Would this be possible?

    The problem of dead pixels has nothing to do with the graphics card but it s a display problem.
    So I was wondering why this problem persists after the LCD has been replaced

    Maybe a Toshiba laptop technician should verify and test parts of the hardware to make sure what part could be the problem exactly
