Solved Wireless Mouse Cursor Missing - A Simple Solution

[baumgrenze]

This morning my wireless mouse cursor suddenly disappeared.

I recalled that it is an HP x4000 series wireless.

First I tried the "connect" button on the bottom to no avail.

Then I used the "on/off button" and turned it off and back on and cursor reappeared.

The top hits to my searches for fixes to this problem called for far more elaborate processes.

Try this first. it is simple.

Perhaps it is also time for me to change the batteries? That is an easily forgotten maintenance item.

The simplest solutions are generally the best. However, in our effort to get the very best solution, sometimes we pick a complicated solution.

Here are some of my favorites over the years.

* Your mom is in the nursing home. She wants a phone. The geeks were recommending all manner of complicated solutions. The easiest thing was to get Sprint or Verizon home phone. No internet connection is required, just a good cellular signal. (Update on this one -- it appears that Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, etc., are discontinuing this type of home phone service. Not sure who still offers this service.)

* Car was stuck in 2nd gear -- no one could figure it out. Finally, a mechanic replaced the fuse in the transmission computer, which fixed the problem.

* Car quit running. It had run out of gas. But I didn't think to check that first, so I got it towed to a mechanic, who told me it was out of gas!
