[QUOTE="bermudalocket, post: 1628624, member: 339980"] Hi everyone, A few weeks ago my trackpad stated acting extremely erratic. The cursor moves across the screen by itself, selects things, highlights things, etc. It got so bad I had to plug in a USB mouse. I just downloaded BetterTouchTool and used the live feature to see what my trackpad was doing while I had my USB mouse plugged in. This is the result: [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/dpde35.jpg[/IMG] Those white circles indicate that the trackpad thinks my fingers are placed there, but they're not. The "ghost" circles always appear near the middle of the trackpad. Does this indicate a problem with the trackpad itself, or a swollen battery? [/QUOTE]
