hp control zone trackpad incredibly glitchy

Read my post on page 31. The solution is there. The screws on the TouchPad are too tight and cause the junpiness. Simply disassemble the laptop per the factory manual, and loosen the screws that hold it into place.

I'm definitely going to try that now. I'm glad to hear that it might be that simple as I was probably going to unscrew the thing eventually anyway.

Page 31 of this thread has the solution. It requires disassembly of the laptop and loosening the screws @weitzela

Thanks - I just saw that... and funny enough, I also see the "hump" in the trackpad that was mentioned. 

Are there some good instructions on how to disassemble? I'm a little techy and could probably figure it out, but would feel better with some instructions.

Hp has the disassembly instructions on their page. Look for your model number it takes about an hour of total work.

Same problem for me.

Please provide us the link to the disassembly tutorial.

*Edit: Nvm, I found it... not even a picture...

I have this problem since I bought the laptop mid 2014.

I will just try to fix it but this problem plagged me so hard that I will never buy any Hp's product ever again.

I was sceptic at first. I tried. I learn from my mistake.

Thanks HP.

(A 1.5k dollars laptop that I used twice in 2 years because of that...)

Hello,

I still have this problem with the trackpad. However, I do not see the hump on it that would suggest the screws were over tightened. Do I still need to disassemble it in your opinion?

Thanks!

in my opinion, if you have a glitchy touchpad, i would start with doing the touchpad firmware reinstall. if that doesnt help, then i would consider untightening those screws i mentioned. it seems the screws make the touchpad bow and mess up the sensor/calibration of the touchpad. the more you use it, the more the sensor becomes skew and reads erratically. This unscrewing of the touchpad has worked for me and others. i would suggest it. it does require some work.
