I alteady had the drivers installed and everything else is up to date . Could it be a physical hardware issue as in broken ? O dont know what else to try?? i have put ar least 50 actual hours into this problem 

I still think it has something to do with the led light above the touchpad. You have not addressed this in my previous posts ??

Thanks for getting back to us. This looks like a hardware issue. If it was a software or hardware issue, the steps previously mentioned should have fixed it.
