    Hey guys. I noticed a lot of people have the problem with the touchpad going crazy after being closed for a few minutes.

    I decided to shoot a video to a **POSSIBLE** solution. The vid is on youtube of course....and here is the link:

    This doesn't work for me. But it gives me something to do, while it goes back to normal. When the blue dot in the top left corner stops re-appearing, the touchpad is ready to use. I'm going to look into removing the magnet at the top of the screen to see if that fixes it.

    Did you turn off touchcheck? That helps a lot....not fully...but a lot

    I also heard tapping the center of the touchpad twice helps. I tried it and it worked
