Unwanted mouse clicks on HP Pavilion dv4




 Hello,
  

  
I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv4 laptop (from costco last may)
  
I've been using it for a month now and didn't have any problems.
  

  
The thing is now that whenever i'm writing, every few minutes, the mouse just clicks (without me touching it!) and i keep writing whenever the mouse pointer was.
  

  
it's very annoying..
  
I can't write anymore.. every time i look at my emails i see text on the wrong part of my mail ..
  

  
my sister also has the same laptop for a year and this thing happens to her as well.
  

  
Has anyone had that problems?
  
Any Ideas?

Go to the control panel and check the mouse settings and click on defaults to reset the settings if ever someone changed it!
> Hello. I have an HP Pavilion 4500 laptop and it won't turn on. I've tried everything to get it to turn back on. There are no flashes or beeps or anything when I hit the power button. Also, before all this came up, my charger wasn't charging correctly. It would turn on then turn off repeatedly. Then one day, my laptop shut off and didn't come back on anymore. I haven't been on my laptop in about 4-5 months now. Could someone please tell me what might be wrong with my laptop?

you havent used it in almost half a year!!!! get yourself a correct charging unit for it that works properly and charge it. leave it out in a warm spot for a day before hand though. it sounds like its gotten very cold internally and also all the battery power has seeped away to nothing. this happens with rechargable batteries after a while. of course you wont get anything when you've got a dead battery. sounds like the charger you have already may be defective or your current battery is defective at least.  

At the other end of the scale though it could be that you laptops power supply unit has become defective and maybe that has blown.  

Rule out the simplest options first of it being the charger or battery. if theres no joy take it down to a local computer engineer and get them to have a look. be prepared to spend a little dosh on it.



btw what r your laptop specs?? might help us.:D pat, sorry to read about your notebook issue.  be assured that i have been monitoring this post and see that you have received very helpful input.  if you're not able to duplicate the memtest86 hit, you may want to scan for "infections" as andre s. recommends.  however, along with malwarebytes, i would also run tdsskiller and combofix.   after doing this and the laptop still freezes, you may want to contact hp's excellent elite premier support team at 866 625-1175, especially if this model is still under warranty.  you also may want to pm me with the product number, serial number so i can get a case started for you or so we can discuss some hp options if out of warranty. It could be a problem with static discharge , if so do the following.


1. Disconect the power cord


2. Remove the battery


3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds , then release for 30 sec and then hold down for another 30sec


4. Plug in power ,replace battery and power on laptop.


If this causes no Joy try this.


Remove memory and reinstall one stick at a time, if there are more than 1 dimm of ram, try each stick in each slot one at a time to see if the memory is ok and to determine if one of the memory slots is bad.


Hope this helps have added psu to above post. (i added specs because i knew someone would ask. however i think it's a software issue.)

unlikely that it's the psu.

the current psu is a hx750i, and the previous psu was a hx650i. swapped over a year ago at least. this is a recent issue.


good, a lot of times this is the psu. but with an excellent unit, that's far less likely.

were you monitoring temperatures at the time? was there something specific you were doing similar in both times? really intermittent things can be hard to nail down. Katy.  Please try double-tapping it (that will enable it without you having to continue to hold it) and see if you're getting the same response with erasing.  The more information I can share with the team, the easier it is for them to look into it.  Sue. You can post a hijackthis log and i can take a look at it for you. Malware might be the cause. Hi


Normal behavior is that when you are using a tool, and then press and hold a shortcut key while you use another tool, Photoshop will jump back to the first tool when you release the key.


 


I watched your video, and this is not what is happening to you — you are releasing the keys. Two thoughts for trouble-shooting purposes:


* Can you try another keyboard?
* Can you try with a mouse?
* Have you tried resetting Preferences? This is different from uninstalling and reinstalling. Go to Prefs > General and click Reset Preferences on Quit.


Maybe another volunteer will have other ideas if these don't work.


 


~ Jane hey,

you can probably fix it by following the steps described here: <https://folivora.ai/blog/post/13010>

if that doesn't help, could you check whether there are any crashlogs in the macos console app under "user reports"? Hello Liamb,Could you take a quick look through [Troubleshooting Typekit issues reported in Adobe Muse](https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7751) and if none of the reported issues match what you're experiencing, send us the log files requested at the end of that page, Thanks,Ankush sorry. i wish i could help but i find it weird that people “like” your post and not say anything. i posted yesterday and i was like ok… ummm do you want to look at my book? hah. all the best sir!
