HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

My cursor is showing erratic movements all over the screen while I try to move it from one place to the other. This happens when I am using my touch-pad to control the cursor. After showing erratic movement it starts clicking itsef all over the screen. The clicks are random and the movement of the cursor is also random.

I've tried updating my driver and all but the problem is still not fixed. Any help regarding this situation is highly welcome.

I am sorry to let you know that the solution that you have presented did not quite work out. It seemed promising at first but later on the mouse started showing the same problem again.

Any further assistance is highly anticipated.

According to the message you have recently posted I would like to confirm that this is a hardware issue and the Touchpad Top Cover needs to be replaced to resolve the issue. I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance to get your Notebook diagnosed and serviced by an authorized HP Certified Engineer

 

You can also Check your warranty Here to verify the warranty status
