Lately my track pad has been acting up. It starts spazzing out jumping around and/or is not responsive. Funny thing i noticed is closing the computer and then opening it temporarily fixes the problem (sometimes for hours sometimes for 2 minutes). Does this mean anything? or is this just the symptom of a dieing trackpad?
