Laptop touchpad clicking randomly
4.5
The touchpad registers clicks even when you aren't touching it.
Symptoms
- Ghost clicks
- Windows opening randomly
- Cursor jumping
Possible Causes
- Swollen battery
- Dirt/Moisture
- Static electricity
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check for Swollen Battery
If the touchpad is bulging, the battery underneath is likely swollen and pressing against it.
2
Clean Surface
Wipe the touchpad with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
3
Disable Taps
Temporarily disable "Tap to click" to see if it's a physical button issue.
When to See a Technician
A swollen battery is a fire hazard; if your touchpad is lifting or clicking on its own, inspect the battery immediately.
