I can be typing and either a letter or number (not anywhere near the location I am typing) will appear in the word. Sometimes I will be typing and all of a sudden the typing shows up somewhere else on the page - like typing in the body of an email and all of a sudden I am typing in the Subject line!! I have an HP Touch Smart 600 and I had the same problem when I had the HP Touch Smart 750. I am told that the HP TouchSmart desktop is actually similar to a laptop.

Its a mouse proble.
disable the mouse pad in device manager
and used a real USB mouse.
works 100% on any Laptop made in last 10 years
avoid XP as it hates, USB devices, and is DEAD NOW.

that is correct this PC you have is just desk stand version of laptop
and all the bad things too.

why not , use a real keyboard and mouse,
if that works, and will, you leaned what. the wireless toy fails.
its got a battery replace that in the wireless input devices.
or defeat it. and use real mice, and kbd.
$20 you can own both, USB devices.

I see 3x USB 2 ports on the rear, use those?
ever use DEVICE manager. in the CP (no OS stated)
but see that? kill the wireless mouse dead, click DISABLE
then plug in a REAL usb mouse, and use that.
or get a new battery for the old mouse.
pick one, infact learn to do that every time the battery fails
grab the real mouse and use it to finish your work and save
the fix mice.

the CP has mouse IC, on some OS, you can disable it here.
or like my HP, it has, this option, under mouse advance
when users plugs in real mouse, kill died this mouse here.
not saying you have that, because NO OS STATED.
and some mouse drivers are old and lack that nice feature.

IF you are using something that has a touch pad on it, chances are that you are hitting the pad while typing and the cursor jumps to the wrong spot and lays down letters. I have also see this happen with shortcuts too. Try covering the touchpad with cardboard and typing.

SOURCE: my laptop keyboard is typing different letters and numbers

It sounds like your keyboard is starting to go. Try plugging a usb keyboard and using that. If your keyboard needs replacing, it may be around $50, but that will depend.

SOURCE: i cant undo the fn key on the mini note

You should be able to turn off the built in numeric keypad by pressing the fn key and the num lk simultaneously. The num lk is directly above the +/= key. If after doing this you still find you only momentarily turn off the numeric keyboard then there is another underlying issue. At that point you should take your unit to your area HP repair center.

This means that your function key is active. To turn it off make sure you have your num lock on and make sure your scroll lock is off.

Where is the part number located on the motherboard for hp pavilion n5470? It isn't on the top right of the board. Do I have to remove the cpu and the heat sink combo to reveal the part number for

Most times it is located on a white sticker near the memory slots. One would think that is for the memory slots. Sometimes it could be anywhere and sometimes it will have MB on the sticker along with a series of numbers and letters. Sometimes only portions of the number you see on the sticker might be used to identify the board.

Try the steps below to be sure.

Write down the numbers you see on a piece of paper. Then go on ebay and in the search box type: HP Pavilion n5470 Motherboard. When the search results come back look at the motherboard part numbers and find one that matches one of the numbers you wrote down.

I looked for your board on ebay and only saw the following number for the motherboard: F2409-60903
One other thing you can do is to go into the HP Support website and instead of downloading drivers when you get the site up look around for links that will give you your warranty or configuration for your laptop that they manufactured it with. Usually they will have the motherboard part number listed in the original configuration.


Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "HP Support" or "Compaq Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Look at the links on the webpage and there will be one for warranty or configuration, specifications, etc. They will require you to put in the serial number and part number located on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. Serial number will have S/N: Part number will have P/N: followed by a series of numbers and letters.

Jumbled numbers and text

Look for the numlock light somewhere near the keyboard. It's the light with a drawing of a lock with a 9.

If it's lit up. turn it off by pressing the numlock key.

Turning it back on will activate the number keypad (consists of 9-11 keys in the middle of the keyboard). So instead of getting letters, numbers appear.

Hope this is your case. Kindly rate me if the issue got fixed.
