I can't boot my wife's HP Pavillion zv5000 laptop to the desktop; only to the login screen. This is because the mouse pad is not working. in other words, the pointer is immobile. Also, the screen flickers whenever the AC power adapter is connected. Swapped power adapter, flickering continued. No loose connections. No flickering with battery power alone. Any ideas for solving these problems will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ~ Dan _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Make it easier for your friends to see what you’re up to on Facebook. http://windowslive.com/Campaign/SocialNetworking?ocid=PID23285::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:SI_SB_facebook:082009--------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
