    My charger recnetly broke, just bought a new one for my laptop. Now the touchpad works fine when not charging, but when its charging the tochpad goes nuts, pointing where i dont want it to and automatically clicking. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

    that is strage as heck..

    is it an OFFICIAL ACER charger or an AFTER-MARKET charger?

    what OS are you running?
    what TOUCHPAD DRIVER is installed?

    what about the charger?? did it come from acer? or is it a generic


    one thing you could do is download the TOUCHPAD driver from HERE.... then install the driver and see if it makes a difference.
