I've also stacked 4-6 pieces of laserjet paper and even used a Tyvek post office envelop (doubled) With the double-laminates the problem was completely eliminated-but the surface was sticky. I can take these plastic coverings on and off and duplicate the error or eliminate it. (Apple also replaced the entire machine, though no hardware problems showed up in the tests. Any other 'solution' than covering the track pad did not work, though it might seem so but not for long.ĭoing nothing or using one of these other methods: I got a random cursor jump every minute or two. This has a nice slide, but I do get an occasional random cursor jump. Only problem was the surface has too much friction.Īt the moment I have a trackpad 'skin' (total waste of money) and a white plastic (pvc?) new car dealer license plate insert. I used lamination sheets one sheet tucked inside another (so 4 layers) then run through the laminator. What has worked is covering the track pad with enough layers of plastic to desensitize the surface, but not so much that the track pad doesn't work.

It's been three months since my initial post above. This guy deserves a big pat on the back and a raise!! Copy, repost, and spread the word to others who may be ready to put their MacBook air through a shredder! Pay it forward.

Since my MacBook Air is outside of warranty, and the closest Apple store is a couple hours away, this is the perfect fix for me!!! I LOVE IT! One caveat - he said I may have to do it again if it starts acting up. This method was recommended to me from an Apple support online chat rep name Jason. (I had to do it a few times, I pressed too lightly at first) Do multiple times if necessary until the sensitivity issue is resolved. Press really hard on diagonally opposed corners of the trackpad at the same time (example: press the top right corner with your right index finger at the same time as the bottom left corner with your left index finger) repeat for all four corners. (Assuming you have already checked trackpad tap to click setting=off)
