The pointer in the display moves on its own

A "drift" has occurred. However, this is not a malfunction. The pointer will stabilize if you do not touch the stick for a few seconds.

My mouse does not work

If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into the mouse connector.

	If you have connected an external mouse while your computer is on, you must
	restart your computer.
	If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into
	the USB connector.

The key top comes off

Put it back where it was and press it until it clicks.

If you take off the key top intentionally or press it excessively when you replace it, it may cause a malfunction. Handle it with care.
