Hp G62 cold touchpad issue

I have an HP G62 a20sA laptop and its developed a fault. The touchpad is very intermittent, for example if i go to click on something the single click or double click wont work, or if i go to move the pointer it will judder across the screen. 
The wield thing is that this only happens while the laptop is cold, as in when i have only just turned it on and the laptop plastic is cold. After a while of the laptop being on and the area where the touchpad is gets warmer the pad becomes more responsive. 
If the touched is particularly bad I can sometimes lay my hand across the whole pad for a while warming it up and it will become more responsive for a while, almost as if it needs to be warm for my finger to be recognised.
I dont think this is a driver issue as the driver is the most up to date driver. 
My brother has the same laptop but slightly differnet spec and his is starting to develope this fault too.
Anyone else had this issue and or have any suggestions.

  • U150 touchpad issues

    I have noticed the touchpad settings choppy at times.  Has anybody else seen this problem?

    I too am having touchpad issues. It gets stuttering/sticky.  It seems to be mostly in the central part of the touchpad: in order to continue using it, I tend towards the outer edges (left and upper, to avoid scrolling).  But this is a frustrating way to navigate. It is also a little intermittent: happens more often than not, but sometimes seems to work fine.  I've wondered if it's related to the machine heating up, although it's not consistently better when cold either.
    I called tech support, got forwarded from Georgia, US, to the Phillipines.  After reinstalling the driver, it continues to have the same problem. At that point they gave up and told me to send my machine in, taking over a week. I've had foreign tech reps default to "hardware problems" in the past, only to find out they are wrong and there is another way around the issue, without losing my computer for a time, having to password protect everything, etc.  
    I saw the post about using an older driver, for the S10.  A few questions: does the S10 driver support multi-touch functions?  Will I lose my touchpad functionality after the uninstall, and if so, how to navigate through the computer?
    Thanks for any help...

  • Split x2 - Touchpad issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I bought this Split x 2 a week ago and it came with WIndows 8. Everything was working fine until I upgraded to WIndows 8.1. Now my Touchpad will freeze some times and I have to log out and log back in to my profile to unfreeze the touchpad other times I can get it to unfreeze by resetting the release touch screen buttom.
    I called HP customer service and they said it was a Microsoft issue and transfer me to them. Microsoft said it was a hardware (HP) Issue and that i needed to go back to the store where I bought it
    (BestBuy). I took it back yesterday to BestBuy and they gave me a knew one. I did the same thing and upgraded to Windows 8.1 and touchpad issues is back. So pretty sure is not a hardware issue.
    All windows updates are completed
    I checked the Touchpad's Driver and it is up to date.
    NOTE: I plugged a wireless mouse to my laptop and when the touchpad freezes the wireless mouse still works.
    Does anyone know a fix for this issue? Everything else works great on the laptop is just very inconvenient when you are working and you have to log out to get your touchpat to work again.
    Any help would be appreaciate it.

    Well you gave me a great idea.  So the same thing happened to me, the install failed due to the driver signature.  I uninstalled the current driver, then turned off the feature that requires signed drivers and installed the driver.  Everything is working so far.... the only odd thing is it doesn't show the driver any where.  I am going to try a few other things BUT the mouse hasn't stopped working for a good half hour.

  • Satellite P300-1AN - Touchpad issue with AC adapter

    I've a Satellite P300-1AN notebook and since the beginning (two weeks)
    I have a touchpad issue: it is not immediately responsive and the pointer trembles when touching the pad. Very often it freezes for just one or two seconds.
    This is VERY annoying. A USB mouse works perfectly.
    I tried reinstalling ALPS drivers, tried Synaptics ones, tried just Windows Vista drivers: no way.
    Now I have found the reason: this issue is present only when the notebook is powered by AC adapter.
    With battery the touchpad is perfect.
    I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they won't change the AC adapter if I don't try before a complete system restore!
    Isn't it simpler just try with a new adapter and only then, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?
    Has anyone had this same issue?

    > I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they won't change the AC adapter if I don't try before a complete system restore! Isn't it simpler just try with a new adapter and only then, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?
    The point is that your notebook should be always checked using the Toshiba factory configuration.
    Why? Because the ASP wants to be sure that this issue is not related to a software problem (compatibility issue with 3rd party applications). The software issues are not covered by warranty.
    Furthermore the ASP will always recover the notebook before checking any hardware parts for a malfunction. Therefore you should always backup your data from the HDD before you will send the notebook for checking.
    I would recommend to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recover disk and then check if the issue would appears.
    If yes then you can contact the ASP again and could provide all details which are necessary for an technician.
    Bye

  • Hmph. (Jumpy) Touchpad issues and Suspend idiosyncrasies.

    (I'll try not to turn this into a novel, but I guess when I have a problem it just happens that I naturally try to describe everything that goes on for full disclosure.  Bear with me.)
    I just got a hold of an older laptop, a Dell Latitude C640, and to my dismay setting up Linux on it hasn't been the walk in the park I'd hoped it'd be.  I read a bunch of articles about Linux on this machine before I got it and most seemed to have a pretty easy time of everything.  Of course this might be because the laptop is quite a few years old and older Linux kernels acted different ways, but I guess I assumed that things would be even easier using a modern distro.
    The Touchpad
    It worked fine on the install of Windows XP that came installed on it, with no problems at all.  Before installing any flavor of Linux I ran Knoppix on it just kind of to make sure things would go OK.  It was a little dated, being Knoppix 5.10, but I figured it'd do for my purposes.
    The first time I booted it seemed to work OK, with the mouse cursor behaving mostly as it should, with a little lag.  I've used this same Knoppix disk on another laptop and it did much the same thing.  After another boot, however, I saw that things weren't going to be so easy.  The cursor immediately drifted off into one of the screen's corners (it didn't seem to care much which one it was in, as long as it was in one) and would refuse to come out.  I could move the cursor a little ways off of the edge of the screen, but not far enough to click anything, and it would immediately go back as soon as I released my finger.  So I tried a few other disks.  First I tried a CD I have for Crunchbang Linux (just a minimalist, Openbox-based Ubuntu flavor), and then Knoppix 4.  Both gave very similar results.  Crunchbang let me have a little bit more control over the cursor for a little while after booting, maybe for about a minute, and then the same behavior cropped up.  I only booted with Knoppix 4 once, but it was pretty much the same deal.
    I started reading up on what might be going on and came across a thread on the Linux Mint forums that seemed to be describing an issue very close to mine (though mine is completely unrelated to the AC adapter and persists whether it's plugged in or not).  Someone in the thread suggested it was a kernel issue, since it's definitely not a hardware issue, so I then booted into a copy of DSL I had lying around, which uses the 2.4 kernel.  Sure enough everything worked without problems.  This caused me to believe, going by some of the conclusions from the Lnux Mint thread and apparently mistakenly, that the issue may have been with the 2.6 Debian kernels, so I figured I'd just get Arch installed and see how things went.
    After getting X set up and working properly I saw that the issue was going to be much the same.  To get around the cursor being dragged into the corner against my will I found out that if I ran without HAL or that if I disabled hot-plugging I could use the touchpad, although not flawlessly.  Here's xorg.conf:
    Section "ServerLayout"

    The "AutoAddDevice" option is the only thing that seems to make any difference in usability at all; without it I can't use the touchpad at all, and with it I can, but to varying degrees.  I've found that right after I boot up everything seems to work exactly how it's supposed to, but shortly after, sometimes 15 seconds, sometimes many minutes, things seem to get kind of unresponsive.  The cursor will go where I want it to go, but it jumps around and does it very slowly.  The mouse buttons also get very unresponsive.  Right click is especially bad, and I often have to hold down the button just to get it to do what I want, but left click is very bad too, requiring me to push the button down for almost a full second, sometimes several times.  Taps on the pad, after things go wrong, also stop being recognized, forcing me to use the buttons (which I'm OK with).  It's usable, but the behavior is not ideal whatsoever—it's rather annoying.
    The most aggravating thing, I think, is that I can't seem to find anyone else using this same model that has this issue.  The latest I've seen is from January: An Ubuntu (8.10) user reports no issues and is very pleased (see comments at the bottom of the page).
    Suspend (both to disk and RAM)
    I actually did install the latest Crunchbang (9.04.01, the 32-bit "Lite" edition) first to see if anything would clear up by installing it rather than running the live CD, but I only had it installed for a few hours.  I didn't really get into messing with xorg.conf that much yet, only really touching "FingerLow" and "FingerHigh" settings, so the touchpad issue was still nagging me.  I did play around a bit though and found out that suspend to RAM and suspend to disk worked pretty much from the go, only requiring that I installed uswsusp.  Issuing a simple "sudo pm-suspend" or "sudo pm-hiberate" put the computer to sleep and it woke back up without any issue at all.
    But suspend on Arch is proving to be a pain in the neck.  Suspend to RAM simply will not work; the computer shuts down but will not resume, leaving me only a blank screen with an unresponsive keyboard.  Suspend to disk works (using hibernate-script as pm-hibernate doesn't seem to do anything at all), but it works very poorly; both suspending and resuming take a very, very long time—so long, in fact, that I'm just better off shutting down and restarting normally, since the boot time is better.  I don't know what accounts for the drastic difference in distros, and this isn't the first experience I've had with suspension working on Ubuntu but not on Arch.  What is different in the Ubuntu implementation of pm-utils than the Arch way?  Is it the Ubuntu kernel?  Is there any way to implement the Ubuntu way with Arch (because, after all, I'd prefer to use Arch)?
    I'm considering installing Crunchbang once again if I can't get things to work the way I want them to in the next few days on Arch.  And, if I can't make the touchpad work in a satisfactory manner on Cruchbang, I might just have to reinstall Windows.  I don't want to do that.

    At least for the moment I've given up and reinstalled Windows XP, but I'm still kind of looking for solutions.  Suspend and hibernate are things I find to be somewhat important, but secondary to the touchpad issues, so I'm focusing on those.
    Out of curiosity today I test out pretty much every live CD I have in the house.  I found an old Ubuntu CD for 6.06 (Dapper) and had a little bit of luck with it.  By default pretty much every live CD configures Xorg to use an additional mouse that isn't present; to fix this I edited the "ServerLayout" section xorg.conf to only use the touchpad.  With this old Ubuntu CD, this achieved the desired result (mostly).  The touchpad worked how it ought to with no lag, but a few features were not implemented.
    Ubuntu 6.06 used the 0.4.3 version of the synaptics driver; newer Linux distros usually use 0.99 and above.  I tried my Knoppix 5.1 CD again, editing xorg.conf again to reflect the absence of an external mouse, but I did not get the behavior I was hoping for.  When I checked I found out that Knoppix 5.1 came with the 0.14.6 version of the synaptics driver.
    Turns out that 0.14.5 was something of a turning point for the driver.
    Makefile support for Xorg 7.0 has been added.
    Two-finger scrolling and pressure dependent motion
    speed have been implemented. A new parameter has
    been added to give greater control over tap
    behavior.
    (http://freshmeat.net/projects/synaptics/releases/228794)
    I suspect that the problem is coming from the addition of the "pressure dependent motion speed."  I don't know what options control this to toy with them.
    However, I'm not so sure.  This sounds like it would be something that would toy with my mind, making me think I'm experiencing "mouse lag" when certain options are really just conflicting, but as I had to point out again on another forum on which I posted this same thread, when using Arch (and the most recent synaptics driver) things started out fine and only after a little while, sometimes less than a minute, sometimes many, would things start to act up.  Either some progress is being made to resolve this problem with the latest releases, or something is going wrong internally that I do not understand.  I just cannot understand why, with the newest drivers, it's only after some use that the problem kicks in while when using all others the problems are immediate.

  • Windows 8 and touchpad issues

    I upgraded an old Toshiba L45-S7423 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 8 Pro recently via CD/DVD. A couple of days later, the touchpad stopped working, but a USB mouse works just fine. The touchpad issue might be related to a Windows update that occurred
    about the same time. The laptop has been running Windows XP for several years without issues other than slow boot and shutdown. Of course, I know very little about Windows 8. Any ideas on how to proceed. Thanks!

    Hi,
    It seems the issue is more related to the driver update from Microsoft site. I recommend performing System Restore first. Then, you may prevent installing the hardware driver updates from Microsoft right now.

  • Z68A-GD80 B3 Random cold boot issues

    No mater if system is set to optimized defaults or Overclocked I randomly get odd boot behavior ranging from slow boots to no boots
    Symptoms:
    delays at post on blank screen with exception of "A2" and or "B3" displayed in the bottom right hand side of the screen.
    Generally after stops looking for a floppy to boot to, which makes no sense at all there is not even a floppy header or bios option to disable.
    I can have three days in a row with no boot issues at all.
    Note: PC and all peripherals are connected to My Tripp Lite 1200w UPS which is connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with hospital grade receptacle. 
    I have the board speaker attached to the board to broadcast the beep codes.
    When a good boot happens I hear three beeps and a final short beep all in fairly quick succession.
    During a failed post the beeps come slower with a greater duration between beeps and one less beep
    Sometimes it sounds like 5 beeps in total but that is with a good post 4 quick beeps and a final marginally longer beep.
    Since their is no post code display with this board I'm left with wondering what these beeps mean on the Z68 boards.
    Also of note the Corsair H70 CPU cooler I have attached to the mobo CPU header for the pump and the Mobo fan 2 header for the H70 fans, so I can monitor the RPMs start very slowly not unlike a jet turbine begins slowly and gradually builds momentum. I only mention this because it does not act this way on other boards I have tried the cooler. Especially when bios setting were set properly which bring me to what I have tried to resolve the situation.
    I've been able to stabilize the board with OC genie and manually at 4.8, 4.7, and 4.6 MHz with 1600 and 1866 memory speeds. To be clear I consider, 20 pass max mem of LinX, 10 hrs prime 95 w/o error and 200% coverage HCI design Memtest (two instances "usable" and "all remaining") with no errors stable.
    Further more I've been able to stabilize Turbo Boost at x49 1core, x48 2cores, x47 3cores and x46 4cores with little more than a Vcore adjustment away from default settings.
    The issue remains intermittent cold boot issues.   
    I haven't had a system pass these test and have cold boot issues since the NF2 days.
    What I've tried:
    bumping Vcore way past minimum required to boot to any given clock down to 4.2 (1.2v)
    bumping CPU I/O same as above
    running at default
    running at default with XMP
    running default manually set RAM timings and volts
    running with the above with EuP 2013 disabled
    Smart Fan disabled and enabled
    disable a boot devices except actual boot drive
    tried two different Corsair 850 watt PSU.
    Questions:
    What are the beep codes for this board?
    When will we see a bios update to fix the multiple UEFI interface problems and possibly this issue as well?
    I thought I bought an enthusiast motherboard yet RPMs from motherboard fan headers are only monitored 1&2 headers.
    I use Aida64 Extreme to monitor temps and voltages but conspicuously missing are things like VTT, SA and PLL voltages and the temps for same.
    Is this normal?
    are they lacking sensors on this board?
    or do I have a defective board?
    Final Q
    When Aida64 is running CPUz current an previous version will not run on this board. I have spoken to the developer of CPUz Franck and Aida and for the moment it seems to be related to this board only but the failure is consistent even after format and reload. CPUz and Aida64 are known to work/coexist on similar Z68 boards. So my question is, Is this a known issue for this board?
    Amendment to the system specs below
    I have two opt drives attached to the SataIII (white) headers in AHCI mode the Blue Ray drive is not discoverable in IDE mode. Blue Sata ports 3,4 are configured in a Raid-0 array and 5 & 6 have WD 640 Caviar Blk drives respectively port 7 is empty.

    My apologies for posting this in the wrong section. Can a mod move it to the appropriate forum. TY

  • HP Envy 15-q004tx Touchpad Issues

    Alright so I've been having some issues with my HP Envy 15-Q004TX and the touchpad.
    I recently purchased the laptop, and it was going fine.
    I decided to speed up the laptop and bought a 500GB SSD to put inside, and install windows. Altough this laptop did not come with a CD, through my University I was able to get an install of Windows 8.1 Professional free, and so I installed that.
    So what's my problem?
    Well every so often the touchpad begins to spazz out. The cursor begins to jump all over the place, sometimes it will automatically open windows 8's charm bar. Sometimes it just stops working for several seconds. But worst of all, sometimes the two finger scroll will just stop working, and instead of scrolling, the cursor just moves up.
    THe only way to fix it, is to go to the mouse settings in the control panel and select 'Reset Devices' and then it just works as normal. Sometimes the mouse will be find for half an hour to an hour, sometimes I will need to reset it after 5 minutes.
    What I have done.
    Reistalled Windows
    Completely uninstalled and deleted drivers
    Installed new drivers from the official HP page
    Tried other versions of drivers
    No matter what I do, it eventually stops working properly. This is incredibly annoying.
    If I cannot fix it, I'll take it back and get another.
    Thanks very much!

    I'm having the exact same issue! Nothing seems to work, HP Suggested a driver down grade, that worked for about 30 minutes.. And also to take my battery out and hold the power button to drain the laptop of static or something, niether worked for longer than an hour!

  • HP Envy 17334 Touchpad issues

    I wanted to let you know these are the things my touchpad has been doing: 
    -Very sluggish when first logging in to the computer.
    -Randomly opens up windows that the arrow hovers over but I don't click on.
    -Jumps around.
    -Makes the window half screen.
    -And just now when I logged on the slight tap on the left side doesn't work anymore and I have to click it all the way for it to take action.  Last week the right click didn't work.
    I have noticed that when you right click on the button on the lower right bar that looks like a index finger (says HP Control Zone when hovering over it) that if I go to Pointing Device Properties, then HP Control Zone Settings and click on Reset Devices, then click OK, that it worked just fine, but I have to do it EVERY time I log in to the computer, and then this last time when logging on, everything worked fine EXCEPT the left side light tap doesn't work: I have to click once hard instead of soft tap to get it to work when wanting to open up something.  
    I Googled problems people are having that are just like the ones I am having with the touchpad on the Envy and I have to say that this is quite frustrating and I'm scared I'll have the same results they have had, which with all of the things they tried -- only a few people seemed to have success with what troubleshooting techinques that were suggested to them.  Some have actually even exchanged and gotten brand new computers and then had the SAME PROBLEM!??  Is this because the touchpad is a relatively new design and not perfected?  I just bought this computer and like everything about it except obviously this problem -- A regular mouse works just fine, but I can't use a mouse most of the time because this computer will be used while travelling which I will be doing a lot of.  HELP!  If I send it in do be worked on will it even help as some of the people I've seen online are saying they are still experiencing problems.

  • HP Touchpad Issues - HP ENVY 15t-q100 - Needs Reflashed to Function Properly -

    I have the HP Slim Quad 100 Notebook with the HP Synaptics Touchpad.
    The touchpad intermittently stops working correctly.  Sometimes it's so bad that it's unusable. 
    I have done a little research and I found that the driver is causing the Touchpad to detect clicks and touch when there is none.  I've confirmed this by looking at the real-time Pressure graph tool that measures Touch Pressure.
    According to the Synaptics Pressure Graph tool (in the Synaptics folder, the red "Z" Icon [SynZMetr] is the name), the Touchpad is detecting pressure even when my hand is off the Touchpad altogether.  I suggest that anyone with this same issue confirm this themselves as well, during your time of random malfunction and sporadic movements.  You will see pressure in the pressure graph even when there is no contact with the touchpad.
    My temporary solution:
    Double click on the 'Reflash' folder in the Synaptics folder:
    C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynReflash
    After I reflash using this method, the issue is fixed immediately.  However, sometimes I have to do this on a daily basis!!!  What is the root issue and how can I fix it???
    Other Troubleshooting:
    I've reinstalled the newest driver a few times:
    Current Version:
    Synaptics Touchpad Driver -18.1.7.8 , Size: 187.8 MB  --  Oct 11, 2014
    File name: sp66500.exe
    ^ This did nothing to solve the problem from re-occurring.

  • [SOLVED] Touchpad issues with Eee 900A, only with Arch.

    Hi guys, posting here because I'm having a hard time tracking down this issue.
    I recently aquired an Eee PC 900A, which I have running the 2-09 arch build no prob, but I'm having one massively annoying issue with the touchpad under X.
    Whenever I lift my finger and replace it on the touchpad, at anything but super slow speed (and sometimes even then), the cursor will jump, an in or so back..
    Now I thought this might be a hardware issue, so I've tried booting into different distros (after trying tons of configs  for the synaptics driver in xorg.conf), and this dosen't occur in the Xandros distro that ships with the Eee, or in Eeebuntu..
    I'm pretty certain it's not a  config issue, Eeebuntu uses hal, I've tried using hal, and dozens of xorg.confs.. I've also tried the zen-eee kernel for the 1000/901's, which is older, and still has the same issue.
    So I'm sure this is a software issue, but I'm not sure which.. It even happens if I dont have the xf86-input-synaptics driver installed.. I'm not going to post my xorg.conf here, because it's irrelevant.. I've tried using tons, including the one that ships with xandros..they all change aspects of the synaptics driver, but none affect this issue.
    Anyone else having this issue? Fixes, suggestions?
    Thanks.

    hi guys,
    I had a similar bug on my netbook with the Elantech touchpad. I have reported a bug to the maintainer of the Elantech driver and I get a patch that fix it.
    description of my bug:
    with two fingers above the touchpad, tap alterrnatively with each finger on the touchpad.
    - expected behaviour: the cursor does not move.
    - actual behaviour: the cursor jumps sometimes to the left or the right.
    this only happens when configuring the touchpad with synaptics (by defaults, mine is detected as a mouse)
    is your bug the same than mine ?
    are you using both the proto=exps option and synaptics ? (I still have the bug in this configuration)

  • Help with touchpad issue!!

    After looking on the web, I realise this is not an isolated issue and many people have had it.
    *Problem in bold if you cant be bothered reading everything :)*
    The problem I have is with the touchpad on my Macbook Pro. This morning my mac had a funny turn and kept freezing soon after loading up the desktop. I could move around with the touchpad but not do much else, so I restarted and plugged in an external mouse and this worked. So I was really annoyed (My TV had decided it was going to pack in aswell this morn) and was about to hurl my mac at the TV to teach them both a lesson when my TV fixed itself and my touchpad gained some usability.
    This is the strangest part - to start with the touchpad could double click - but you had to use three fingers instead of two, it could three finger swipe - but with four fingers and 5 fingers for expose!! But I couldn't single click. *Now, However, I can do everything on the mac by touching the pad but there is no response when I physically click the pad down. You can hear the click but nothing happens, unless you press really hard, in which case it works 1 out of 5 attempts.*
    My macbook is only four months old, so I'm presuming it is still under warranty? However, I didn't buy directly from Apple but instead from Currys, will this make a difference. I would just take it in to an Apple Store but the nearest one is about 1.5 hours away and I have no car So I don't want to waste money and time getting there only for them to turn me away/ have no warranty!!
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Adam

    Should they fix it for free? I
    If the unit is under a year old or you purchased the 3-year AppleCare plan, then yes.

  • Yoga 13 touchpad issues, Lenovo can't quote me a repair price

    Over the last few days my Yoga 13's touchpad has started to misbehave.  As I scroll around it will begin to select text, or for example if I click on a tabbed window or Windows 8 tile it will instead grab that item and drag it around.  I've tried everything driver related, rolled back to system restore points and even completely reset the system to factory so I am confident that it is a hardware issue.  I called Lenovo and of course I am a few weeks out of my warranty period.  I am not opposed to paying for the repair, but they cannot tell me how much the repair is.  Any staff out there that can help me out?  Thanks!

    when you finish selecting what you want with the button do you take your finger off the mouse pad, i ask this as pressing the mouse pad is also a left click
    video not working

  • Toshiba Satellite C855-SS530 touchpad issues: left-click randomly releases

    Brand new Toshiba Satellite C855-SS530 Windows 8. My touchpad will very often respond erratically. As I hold down on the left button and scroll, often times scroll will randomly release and then sometimes re-engage. This will happen with web pages, holding windows, etc. I'll be dragging a window or file or what-have-you, it will release the hold of it's own accord (without me releasing the left button) then sometimes re-engage (picking up other random files, selecting stuff on the desktop or other random things I didn't want to do). Most often I am holding down the left button and scrolling down a web page, and it will randomly "let go" of the scroll (before I have let go of the left button). Occassionally the touchpad will not immediately respond. It's too annoying to keep this laptop.
    It isn't clear to me whether this is hardware or software related...Could be a bad button, bad touchpad, loose wire, or even a memory-glitch error which disrupts the touchpad signal. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with the Satellite C855-S5350. The touchpad is vital. It can't glitch out even 1% of the time. If I can't solve the issue, it'll likely be returned. I turned off most of the Synaptics silly stuff (edge swipe, etc) and it didn't resolve anything. There are nearly no services running eating up RAM so I have no idea why the touchpad would be freezing up...
