<p>help! the cursor on my laptop seems to have suddenly gone crazy! it moves all over the screen and I have absolutely no control over it.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how I can fix this?</p>
<p>sometimes if you turn it over and blow on it, where the light is, it will stop or you can also try a white piece of paper over your mouse pad.</p>
<p>If this a this is a laptop there is no light. it is capacitive touch square just below the keyboard. I have had that happen and what I did was take windex, even water put a LITTLE bit on a paper towel or preferably a soft CLEAN cloth. Turn off the laptop and clean the pad in a circular motion> let any residue dry then turn the laptop back on on try it. Hopefully that will work and if not then I am not sure what to try next. It has worked on mine a couple of times now. Good Luck</p>
<p>lol just realized i was assuming you had a mouse attached to your laptop …i do as i cant stand the thing on the lap top.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s turning into an electronic Ouija Board. :)</p>
<p>parent56 I agree they are the most frustrating thing going on a laptop LOL. with some of them being capacitive as I said just rubbing your feed on the carpet while using the laptop can make it go crazy because of the static. </p>
<p>EPTR I like your comment now if we could only write a program that would turn into an electronic OUIJA board we could be rich:)</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses!</p>
<p>EPTY…that’s a perfect description of how the touchpad on my laptop is behaving!</p>
<p>Percussiondad, I will try your solution as soon as I get home.</p>
