go fucking nuts all the time?? While I'm trying to get something done, all of the sudden, It starts flying all over the place, rendering me in a seizure!! It stops after a while and I can control it but a little later it does it again. It's a bitch when I'm on the net. Please help me with this heartache and sorrow.

you could also be putting pressure on the case by resting your arm/wrist on it. I have had a couple of old laptops that have had thi sproblem. The pressure from resting/holding the computer in your lap with your arm, can put pressure on the touchpad, and cause it to think you are pushing on the corner of the touchpad. Might want to check for that before you go tearing it apart.

Maybe your hands are sweaty.

Water and touch-pad surfaces don't get along very well.

On my girlffriend's laptop, the right hand edge can act as a scroll wheel. That may be what you are experencing.

I've got an old Dell inspirion 7500 that does this sometimes. And sometimes even if I dont have my hand on the mouse or mouse buttons it just randomly clicks on something...
