Does my hp stream 11 x360 have a mouse pointer?

[Willcruz82]

I purchased this

HP Stream x360 - 11-p015wm (ENERGY STAR)

does this have a normal mouse and pointer feature or is everything just touch. they key pad works fine for typing. but i would like to use the touchpad like a traditional mouse and pointer. How can i do that, if i can?

Hi,

The Touchpad also works as a mouse, you can see the mouse pointer on notebook screen when you move your finger(s) on the touchpad.

Thats just it. I do not see a mouse pointer, the touch pad seems to work just fine but I do not see a pointer anywhere. is there something in setting i need to do?

OK got it to work. When i got this it had a broken screen, I replaced the screen and thats when I found the mouse did not work (touchpad) I tried all the settings and troubleshooting methods. However nothing worked. I then decided to pull the bottom off to see if there was any damage to the flex cables etc... I saw that someone had already taken it apart and forgot to plug back in the touchpad teather/flex cable. So I plugged it back in and voila... problem fixed. Thank you guys for taking the time to help me. very much appreciated. The process of elimination helped!
