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.

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.
