1. Because I cant drag a mouse with me to bed or anywhere else.
    The touchpad was working fine before, I just dont understand whatis wrong?
  2. How old is the computer? Maybe some warranty or some consumer law can help.
  3. 5-6 yrs old
  4. At that age computers often start malfunctioning.
  5. Warranty was only one year.
    Think it could be a bug but I got antivirus so I would'nt know.
  6. I have never heard of a virus making a hardware malfunctioning like that. I could be wrong of course, but I think it might be purely a phyisical matter, some part of the touchpad wearing off or something.
  7. I've heard of viruses or malware affecting hardware. But it could be wear and tear, especially after 5-6 years.

    I just managed to score myself a Sony Experia for $100 - locked unfortunately but I'm looking to change networks anyway. Oh and the screen has a crack - so I have to get that replaced but apart from that it works perfectly.

    Installed the launcher I wanted too, and widgets.
  8. How much is a new screen going to cost you?
  9. Cool, I have an Xperia Arc.

  10. No idea. Hopefully not too much given an iPhone screen is $50.

    Cool, I have an Xperia Arc.

    Is that a newer one?

  11. eBay screens go around 10-25$ depending on the gizmo. And most of them have fool-proof installation procedures!

  12. With that equation, this means it'll be $50 to replace including service fee.
