Lost The Cursor

[pinstripe]

I have a Packard Bell laptop that seems to have lost its cursor. Everything powers up as normal but the cursor does not appear. I can move from icon to icon by using the up / down / left / right buttons but really need the cursor.

Make sure that you've not disabled the touchpad. It's toggled on and off via pressing Fn together with the relevant key, which will look something like this

Try plugging a mouse into a USB port, to see if that brings up the cursor.

If those suggestions don't help, please tell us which version of Windows is on the laptop.
