Why is my trackpad not working properly?
The trackpad on my Macbook suddenly stopped responding properly, when I move my finger the cursor stops intermittently. I found two workarounds that might give some clues:
1) if I apply even just light pressure under the trackpad the cursor moves as it should,
2) it also works if I unplug the power source, ie. in battery mode! (not ideal, since my battery is seriously bad)
Any ideas what might cause this problem?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Thanks guys! As it happens, the trackpad started working again before I could try any of your suggestions. If I had any less experience with computers I would say this is very strange…
Now I have the problem of USB-Midi not working with the power source attached, but that’s off topic…

@mholmqv - I would still look at your battery as this sounds like a classic case of a swollen battery.
