It sounds like you are a novice when it comes to understanding how to troubleshoot and repair a PC.
I would recommend that you get a packaged system that carries at least a 1-year parts and labor warranty. Dell has some excellent deals on desktop systems and their warrantees technical support are very good

sounds like the inverter has gone. local shop should repair easily and quite cheap.

It may not click. If it does not get recognized by your computer as a new drive, you may have it inserted upside down or there may be a problem with the adapter.

There is a setting in your Control Panel/Mouse, which is a check box to enable it to hide the mouse pointer when not in use. Disable that and see if it helps.

The erratic pointer in the dell inspiron 1545, is a common fault. The usual cure, is to unistall the driver. Reboot install the driver again. Also check your graphics settings. If that doesnt cure the problem. You will need to overwrite/erase your hard drive do a fresh install.
