HP ENVY 4 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a strange problem with my HP ENVY 4 (1003TX).
When I plugged in the AC charger, the touchpad / mouse does not work properly.
Sometimes it moves and sometimes not eventhough I have moved and touched the touchpad.
When I disconnect the AC charger, the touchpad works perfectly fine.

Can anyone give me advise on this?
thanks in advance

@UMR,

 

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

 

Let's start off by performing a Hard reset on the notebook

Before power resetting your computer, do the following:

  1. Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices. Start up the laptop and test the computer by itself, and then reconnect one peripheral device at a time.

  2. Turn over the computer and look for a battery compartment door.

 I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. That way it will look at the Hardware installed on the Notebook.

Once done, restart the computer and check.

 

Next thing, I would suggest here is to Run Windows Updates troubleshooter -

 

Download and install the troubleshooter from this link.

 

Now try to perform Windows Updates - 

 

1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates. 
2) Check for updates. 
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

 

If the issue persists, Please follow the steps to uninstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control from Device manager: 

 

Unplug the charge and use the laptop until the battery drains to 15%.

Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.

Reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager,

Restart the computer and the issue should be fixed.

 

Also, Go through them all and let me know what you have determined is causing the issue. The first document has the most relevant troubleshooting if your battery appears to be not charging.

 

I would suggest please update the Bios and Chipset drivers on your PC from our HP support website, using this link: http://hp.com/drivers Select the country and language. Enter the product# and follow the on-screen instructions.

 

Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.

Refer this link to know how to use HP support assistant.

 

Alternatively, you may test the AC Adapter -HP Notebook PCs - Using and Testing the AC Power Adapter

 

Let me know how it goes for further assistance. 

 

That said, If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution and Kudos buttons, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Have a great day!
