Pavillion Dv7 7047-cl Laptop Touchpad jumping around after typing

The touchpad of my laptop has been messing up pretty badly recently. My laptop's touchpad will spontaneously jump around and randomly right/left click when I try to use it. This mainly happens after I finished typing something. The longer I use my Keyboard without using my touchpad, the longer my touchpad will go out of control. This does not affect usb mice, but if I continue to type with out using my touchpad, i can only type a few letters before my keyboard refuses to type. This is fixed after i move my touchpad, and next few letters of what I just typed will appear, sometimes stopping and repeating a letter, like thisssss. This works even I toggle the touchpad off with the button in the top left of the touchpad, so the pointer won't jump around but text will appear. I've searched my laptop for viruses, but didn't find any. Even typing this post has taken me over 10 minutes because of the on and off mouse -> type -> mouse -> type pattern. My driver is updated, and i've tried restarting my computer, but nothing works. Help!

Try two things:
1. Hard reset (remove battery and AC plug, hold down power button 30 seconds, wait 30 seconds, plug in power and restart) + go into BIOS (F10 as you power up) and restore default settings.
2.  Try Touchfreeze or Touchpad Pal software. It disables the touchpad while you are typing:

  • My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports

    I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks

    I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
    Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.

  • I am frustrated with how my cursor jumps around while typing.  How can I make the arrow follow the cursor so this doesn't happen?

    Macbook Pro with OSX Yosemite:  I am frustrated that when using Word for Mac, the cursor keeps jumping around all over the page.  How can I make the pointer follow the cursor so this stops?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Email cursor jumping around while typing????

    My cursor jumps around while I am typing and is just erratic.

    I have this issue as well.  I am using a early 2008 macbook, 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo.  I usually am only typing on this computer for email.  I have tried both firefox and safari with the same issue.  I was initially hoping it was just a bug in the application, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

  • Smart Album's jumping around after edits

    Hello,
    I'm working on organizing my large library of images and I've created a few simple smart albums to group images by date so that it is easier for me to categorize them. These can be rather large smart albums - 1,000 - 2,000 images.
    Everything works fine until I start making edits to the images in the smart album. When I do this, the smart album appears to reload and it frequently "jumps" to a different part of the album. For example, about on image 500 or so of a 1,200 image Smart album, I was going through and making stacks. After each stack was created the smart album view would "jump" back up to image 250 or so - and I would have to scroll back down to me previous location in the photo list.
    I checked the sort order to make sure I wasn't messing that up. I was using image date and the stack operations I was performing didn't substantially alter the order of images by their dates.
    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    -Steve G

    One thing to check on if your library is large. When you open your smart album, let it settle for a little bit as the library is queried to match images to your smart search criteria. It is not the fastest operation it does. Check for no spinning wheels in the lower control bar and check the Task List (under window) is empty of work.
    I have noticed an Image Manager task show-up in the Task List on occasion, seemingly umprompted and i let that end before i do more work as it seriously bogs-down its work.
    Try letting it settle a few mins (depending on your library size).

  • Curser jumps around while typing

    I have tried to find the answer myself but.....As I type mymp curser ju vi See! I'm tired of ha to go back again and again (I've left the examples in the hope that it will help)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions....
    Try cleaning your trackpad. Shut down the Mac. Get a clean lint free rag, dampen it with water and just gently wipe the trackpad. Are you using a mouse by chance? Same thing... clean the mouse.
    Also, go to System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Trackpad and make sure your settings are to your liking.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around since Lion was installed on your computer? Never happened until Lion.

    Is anyone having trouble with the cursor jumping around while typing since you installed Lion? Never had any problems of that sort prior to Lion. I have an older machine. I believe it is a 2008 MacBook Pro. Especially happens with Yahoo. I am baffled.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Hp pavillion dv7-3065 laptop will not turn on - led light blinks, ac's light on?

    HP Pavillion dv7-3065 with Windows 7.
    I fell asleep two days ago, and when I woke up yesterday, my laptop was off. (The battery very well may have died while I was sleeping, or just shut off on its own. I don't know which.) I tried turning it on, but nothing happened... except for the lightning bolt (LED light) blinking three times. No noises inside, blank screen, nothing aside those three blinks.
    For the record, I've already tried removing the battery. I've also tried removing the battery, removing the AC cord, and holding in the power button for 30+ seconds. It didn't work.
    I've tried removing the battery and running off AC. This still doesn't work. However, the laptop recognizes that it's plugged in; the little light by it is consistantly on. I've also tested my laptop with another AC adapter just to be safe. Nothing.
    My laptop has been tested without harddrive/etc, but I'm still at a blank. I don't know what else to do. My boyfriend, who's in school to be an IT, took it into his teacher, who messed around with it, and came up with a few conclusions.
    He believes that because the lights are flashing, he's confidant that my motherboard is fine. He said to replace the battery, and if that doesn't work, solder the ...I forgot what exactly, but basically it's the charging connection. I forget what exactly. My apologies there.
    However... I feel like replacing the battery would be a waste of money... Because regardless of battery, the laptop should still turn on with the AC cord. My boyfriend intends to bring this up and ask if he can just skip to the other thing anyway, but he doesn't have that class again for a week, and I'm at a loss of what else to do. Aside from that, his teacher says there's a limited number of other things that could be wrong...
    I was hoping to get some more input... 

    This won't help you out, but I am experiencing the same problem... I am gonna look on this post to see if you get an answer!
    I have the same problem! Except I did manage to get mine to turn on. After doing the hold the power down thing. Nothing happened. I did leave the lap top on cause I was irritated and walked away, about an hour later it came on. It let me turn it on and off a few times. Then stopped. Then leaving it sit on stopped working too

  • Need to replace a damaged HMDI port (HP Pavillion Dv7 1270us laptop)

    Where can I get a new port and how would I replace it?
    HP Pavillion Dv7 1270us laptop
    Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    The port is on the video card, replacing the port means replacing the video card and replacing the video card may mean replacing the whole motherboard.
    Buying a new motherboard probably the way to go. You can order from this:

    Regards.
    Updated: Your machine uses NVIDIA 9600GT, but you can not find MXM adapter. You may also can try to order this card from HP using the above link but I think you have to buy the whole motherboard.

  • Can I attach multiple external monitors to my Pavillion dv7 laptop?

    I have one monitor connected through the HDMI interface and I would like to have another one attached as well. Can I use the VGA port (or the other flat one -- I do not kjnow what it is called) and have the monitors work in concert?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jerry:
    Theoretically you should be able to connect as many monitors as you have video out ports.
    Since I don't have your model, I can only speculate.
    I know that this is true of desktop PC's (where the onboard video is not disabled by an add on card).
    I believe the other HDMI-looking port is a display port.

  • Touchpad pointer jumps around when connecting to HDMIt

    Greetings,
    I have been using the HDMI port of my Macbook pro retina for 1 year with my samsung LCD,
    and yesterday while im connected through the hdmi my touchpad
    is completely erratic, jumping around and self clicking.
    Before i had no problem!
    when i disconnect the Hdmi cable everything is fine again.
    Pleast help, any ideas why suddenly my touchpad is behaving like this?
    Many thanks,
    Nico

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. A defective peripheral device or a damaged cable can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using any wired peripherals, disconnect them one at a time and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.
