You maybe able to adjust the fan in the BIOS by changing the fan temperature setting.

Since you don't seem to want to help us in helping you, by being more detailed about your mouse, or mouse pad, problem, I will give you some general advice:- This is a laptop, yes?- It has one of those little areas where you can use your finger, instead of a mouse?- Look in Device Manager, or even in the Mouse option in Control Panel, and see if you have a mouse configured for your laptop, in addition to the built-in finger pad for use as a mouse.- If you find there are two separate devices, one for the laptop-supplied mouse square, or rectangle, with the buttons on the bottom, for use instead of a mouse, and one for an external mouse, then make sure you have designated the built-in pad for use as a mouse. If, however, you want to use an external mouse, then you do the opposite, and ensure that the external mouse is selected as the device you wish to use for a mouse, and disable the built-in mouse/finger pad software, so that you do not have a conflict.One or the other must be primary, and the one not primary must be disabled, or your laptop must be told not to use that other one. Apparently - again, because you gave us absolutely no details - there is a hardware conflict and the laptop doesn't know which device to use, so it is not using either, and you're stuck without the benefit of any pointing device.All the work you need to do with device manager and control panel must be done with keystrokes, and for that you must use Windows' Help to learn which keys will do what. Usually the four arrow keys, near the numeric pad, along with Page Up and Page Down, and the Tab button, or Shift+Tab, to go backwards, are all you might need to reset things the way they need to be set.I hope you understand that absent any details at all, the only advice you will get from anyone here, is going to be educated guesswork.Best of luck to you.Cheers!-a.

In case somebody has the same problem. Result of my investigation: * If everything is ok then the Presario CQ61 boots without battery. * HP support recommends to do a hard reset i.e. remove power supply, remove battery, press power button to discharge everything internally, connect power, press power button In my case the problem was solved by changing the AC Adapter (Power supply). Note: The led besides the power connector is not reliable. It is on with the working and faulty adapter. Note: The voltage level at the battery pins is not reliable. I had same values.

old PC,, Cq series. cq62-nnnnn you left off the nnnnnn cq62-100, 200 ,300 what? running mS windows 8 HP does not support W8 on this PC so that means you are on your own steam...

Oh dear you have broken this and will need to send it off to be fixed.

Won't load in safe mode?? What's your operating system? Has the hard drive been formatted?

1. Turn off your computer. 2. Press the power button to turn your computer on. 3. Hit F11 a few times quickly, while the launch screen is still up. This will launch the Recovery Manager. (If you see the Windows 7 boot logo, you've missed your chance and need to restart your computer and try again from step 2.) 4. On the left side it will say "I need help immediately". Underneath that there will be an option that says "System Recovery". Click on that. 5. There will be an option to either back up your files before restoring, or to recover without backing up your files. In my case, I'm recovering without backing up my files. 6. It will tell you to make sure all devices are disconnected from your computer. Make sure they are, and then click "OK". 7. There will be a "Welcome to the Recovery Manager" screen. Click "Next". 8. It will begin to reformat your partition and to reinstall the Windows 7 setup files. Once it's done doing that, click "Next". You'll be brought to a page saying "Recovery is Complete". After that all you need to do is reboot, and it will bring you through the wizard to set up Windows 7, just like on a new computer! Good luck :)

THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS to be asked on here as there are so many stolen laptops about ,ull need to go to a repair shop with proof of purchase or something that is on your system that only yourself could identify , to regain access to your laptop..

Try to reinstall windows formatting your Hard Drive... It seems to be an windows crash, or some software.

Drive is formatted with wrong file system. The files you're trying to copy are too big
