I have a HP Pavilion lap top. The cursor is so

I have a HP Pavilion lap top. The cursor is so sensitive it will almost immediately go to anay link that it happens to touch.
For example, I could be typingg this note right now and suddenly be sent to another web site just because the cursor was accidently left in a spot on the page that links - even the ''go back to the prior page'' arrow.

I've tried the control panel solution and it doesn't help to slow down the pointer speed and etc. The lap top is in danger of being destroyed if this madness doesn't stop. Any ideas?????

Hi, try going to control panel, under the start button, from there you can reduce the sensitivity and reduce speed on your mouse.
Hope this helps

Hp pavilion Dv 7 won't power on even when the lap top is charged.

Pull the battery and plug it in to the wall (in other words rule out the battery). If it still refuses to come on, check out this troubleshooting link:

I'll move the cursor to one spot on the desktop and it will move itself to another....windows 7

You mean, the cursor is erratic and moving all around here and there?

Decrease the Touchpad Sensitivity...

I see that your Laptop was shipped with Windows Vista and it seems you are using a Retail version of Windows 7. Specially, HP/Compaq Laptops is designed for Retail versions and you can face some device/driver functionality issues. But, you can still try the followings.

As per my knowledge, your Laptop has the Synaptics Toucpad.

To Change the Sensitivity of the Touchpad:
1. Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize > Mouse Pointers . The Mouse Properties settings window will open.

2. Select the Device Settings tab. Select the Synaptics TouchPad device and click Settings. In the Properties for Synaptics TouchPad window, expand the Sensitivity topic.
3. Select the PalmCheck option to adjust the sensitivity (decrease it) of the touchpad to avoid erratic cursor movement caused by accidental touching of the pad during normal typing.

If the Device Setting tab is missing.....

1. Click Start, in the Start search field type Msconfig and press enter.

"System Configuration Utility" box will pop up on the screen.

2. Click the Startup tab.
3. Search for "Syntpenh" entry and select the checkbox beside it.
5. Click OK. Restart the computer. Perform above step.

If you are still not able to perform the steps, update the driver from following link.

Synaptics TouchPad Driver: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp44501-45000/sp44969.exe

Restart the Notebook and check for the problem. It should be resolved now.

My lap top makes a snap nose and then truns off is it just the batterie or is could it be more just want to know if it's worth fixing it's a Hp pavilion n5350

It could jmust be the battery. When it happens, is your battery low? Does it happen if you have the lap top plugged in and not on battery power? If so, then it's not the battery.

Key board not working

It's a hardware issue,
Maybe RAM or hard drive..

Did you get it used? If so the password was set b4 you purchase it, and will not show up when you type,,,It stays hidden.

Your getting this screen because there is a hardware failure. Fix the problem and you wont need the BIOS password.

Press<esc> to enable startup message, This should give you more info on the problem.
