    Okay, so I was minding my own business on my gateway laptop, and suddenly, my touchpad had a spazz attack. At first it would barely move the mouse, then it would move and go back to te same place, and now its to the point that I have to aggressively and swiftly move my finger across the screen maybe 20 times, to get to the link I need to click. Its becoming a rather good forearm workout, but i can't have it like this forever. What can I do without having to take it apart, or send it in to the nearest best buy? :confused:
