I have a Packard Bell laptop that last month has a mystery problem. After user login I have that symptoms:
- Mouse blinking randomly
- Computer is extremelly slow
- All apps are loading extremely slow (even the network icon!)
So, I decided to format it and install again the windows 7. After format, without any programms, or settings, the symptoms are the same.
I decided to format and install windows 10. I am not lucky guy, so the problem didn't solved.
I noticed that If I "disable" the mousepad (FN+F6) the computer works smoothly without any problem!
BUT: It doesn't matters if the mousepad is enabled or diabled, just I have to change the status (from disabled to enabled and opposite). That's the only way to have a working computer as temporary solution.
I have also remove the cable from touchpad (I though that had the problem) but the problem exists.
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
1Today I learned that Packard Bell still exists and sells notebook computers. That's what I learned today. How old is this one, though? – CDove – 2018-04-17T13:46:02.167
@Cdove I think it's about 6 years old – Dimitris Karvounis – 2018-04-17T14:06:16.993
This sounds like your motherboard is about to depart the mortal coil.... – CDove – 2018-04-17T14:07:39.960
1Have you updated the BIOS? How about proper drivers for the devices, specifically the mouse/touchpad? – CharlieRB – 2018-04-17T15:27:13.303
If disconnecting the pad didn't help, I'd say device drivers aren't so much the problem. I'd try a BIOS update, but back up any data first, as if your mobo IS going out, that will possibly aggravate the situation. – CDove – 2018-04-17T15:47:12.407
I have updated the BIOS from v1.03 to v1.30 with no luck. but I realised that the problem solved just pressing the Fn key, without disabling the mousepad – Dimitris Karvounis – 2018-04-18T10:17:43.273
