Spectre x360 mouse pointer is constantly moving and it's not under control

[Tamal_Batabyal]

Hi,

I purchased the Spectrex360 convertible on Dec 13th, 2016. The problem started from June,17. The mouse pointer constantly moves towards the top edge at the middle of the screen without any control, and it goes on continuously till I shut down the laptop.Initially, it was not that much, but now it is completely out of control.

I have pretty much the same problem as @dbronstein88 ("Spectre x360 mouse point goes wacky"https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/Spectre-x360-mouse-point-goes-wacky/t...).

I tried to reboot but that didn't work. I also disabled the driver for touchscreen, but after few minutes, the mouse again starts moving up and down.

I really need some help beacuse currently I can't do any work on the laptop.

Thanks.

I understand that you are facing an issue with your computer where the cursor moves to top automatically, is that right?

Kudos to you for trying to troubleshoot the issue on your own.

Not to worry, I will be glad to assist you. 

Have you tried to update all the drivers using HP Support Assistant?

If the issue persists even after the virus check.

This should resolve the issue you are facing.

Hi @Chimney_83,

Nothing seems to work.

1. clean boot done (I had to install few programs again after a clean boot)

2. mouse driver update done

3.  virus checked

but the pointer is still moving vertically.  Two of my labmates are having the same problem with Spectrex360. Can you honestly tell me whether this problem appears only in few Spectrex360 products (in that case HP is selling defective products, which is not at all expected!!!) or it's a generic issue with Spectrex360?

Any better solution?

Thanks

Hi @Chimney_830

I tried to reset my laptop. Initially it stopped moving, but after 15 mins, the cursor again starts moving vertically.

I also ran the mouse test, and it passed.

I went through the replies and solutions in different threads addressing the same issue. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. I guess this is a hardware problem. But I need a solution before reinstalling the deleted apps, because it's a hassle. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks
