So this started a few days ago and it has been persisting. The screen will shift to the right by about one inch and then shift back if I move the mouse into the area of the shift and click on it. However I have noticed that when the screen does this the resolution appears to drop a bit and the mouse looks like it did on Windows 95. The issue persists on battery power and while plugged into AC power.
This issue is driving me crazy and I have tried contacting support only to get "There is nobody available" or "An error has occurred." Why isn't there a number that I can call to get ahold of support to try and get his issue resolved?

Hi @Triste,
I'd like to help!
To identify the issue and resolve it accordingly:
- If not done already, check if it works fine on the BIOS screen to identify if it's either a hardware or a software issue:
- If it works fine on the BIOS (Accessed while tapping F10 during a restart) it's a software issue & I suggest attaching an alternate monitor to your device and creating a new user account to check if that works better, for starters)
- However, if it doesn't work within the BIOS either, I'm afraid it's a hardware malfunction.
While you respond to that, I have a few more steps that should help:
Perform a power reset (no data loss) using these steps: Click here, proceed to next step if this works
Attempt to run a test from the HP hardware diagnostic tool, using this link: Click here for details.
If the issue appears on the diagnostics, it could again, determine a hardware failure,
If they don't appear on bios & the hardware tests passed: please update the BIOS & Chip-set drivers from the HP website using this link: Click here
if the issue persists, reinstall windows using the recovery partition or the recovery media to fix the issue,
use this link for details on performing the recovery: Click here
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
