When charger is plugged into laptop, cursor movement using touch pad is very erratic. Unplugging the charger steadies the cursor. Any guidance?

Honestly, I got two chargers from the seller and both of them did not work properly.

To be honest I'm not much of a computer guru, but I would not be surprised if the two are somehow connected considering the quality of the charger. It might be something related to the wattage. Have you tried playing with the cursor speed?

Touch pads and touch screens are sensitive to over-voltage. Check the voltage with a volt meter. ~10% over or more has been known to cause jumpy, unresponsive or 'mind of it's own' - type problems. My PA-10 is rated at 19.5v but puts out 20.0. No issues so far.

I ended up using a friends extra charger that they had. If you buy one from Best Buy or somewhere legit it's probably about $30-$40. No wonder it was so cheap!

I'm sorry but I have not experienced that issue. I'm using a Dell Inspiron. My charger is about 2 ft from my machine. Perhaps it's an issue with the proximity of the adapter to your laptop?

Hello, I have a gamer type laptop, it requires high amperage. The charger gets very hot, and when my battery is low, during charging the screen flickers, not enough juice in the beginning. But it does work, hope this helps

Well, I got the same problem ! But after playing with the mouse a little, I realized that it was happening when the battery was weak.... So I buy rechargeable battery and the problem disappeared.

Mine has never done that ... I charge the keyboard often as there is no indicator light that warns of low power, maybe that will help you too.

Normal use is to have the trackpad (or keyboard) in the charger at all times, so you never have to consciously charge the battery -- it just stays charged all the time. It's not a "wired" trackpad, in that you can't "unplug it" to turn it off, but essentially it's "insert and never worry about batteries".

It does work fine with a mouse. The problem is probably due to the uninsulated metal chassis. Had the same issue with an Asus tablet with an original charger, where sticking the adapter flipped usually alleviated the problem. Here it doesn't.

All the time now. Not just once in a while. I am very upset about it. When I attach the adapter, it feels like the charger thingy is moving around.

I can only say that mine responds to very light touches. You can try plugging into a different usb port and let it reload the drivers, but I have not found any settings for touch sensitivity. You may want to talk to their customer service and get it replaced. Sorry I can't help more.

The only suggestion I have is for you to turn off the 'Tapping' function on your mouse pad as you might be accidentally tapping on it as you use your space bar. I haven't had any problems with the two laptops we purchased from Asus, but I did turn off that function on both of them. Hope this helps.

I have been using that mouse for a while and I'm actually using now. Had the same issues when I first got it too because I didn't understand it that much. 1. Check battery power levels, your batteries might be about to die. 2. No cheap batteries: I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloop AAA's with a Lacrosse battery charger so I never have to buy batteries. I know the light is supposed to tell you to change but it sometimes doesn't for me but that's ok for me. 3. Always turn off the off switch under the mouse before shutting down your desktop or if you use a laptop like me, always turn off the switch before closing the laptop. 4. If those don't work, go to your PC settings to disconnect the mouse's sync to your machine completely then re-sync it again. 5. LAST RESORT: If those don't work, you need your money back. lol

Sorry!!! I don't have that problem. My DELL is Inspiron 1505 and the charger works fine.

I found out the hard way that when you use your laptop while it is plugged into an outlet, you lose the battery's ability to sustain the charge (when using it unplugged). The battery never depletes itself so it cannot fully re-charge. I purchased a replacement battery from Amazon and now, even though I am using my laptop at home, I disconnect the charger and use the laptop until it gets almost depleted. This gives me 3 or more hours.

Yes... I ordered my charger last week and it arrived early. plugged it into my touchpad and it instantly charged it right up

I have not had any thing that way, but I know that the type of plug used will cause loss of contact and cause power up and downs, and cause some problems. but for the cursor that is another thing I have not used it on a laptop. I would contact them and they will work with you 100%.

I've had this happen on other non-Acer computers and the only thing I can attribute it to is programs running in the background take an active blip for a second, thus causing the cursor to move/disappear. Then, I must shake the mouse, or tap the pad, to resume control of the cursor.

Many times my TouchPad charger stops working because it has twisted apart. The 2A TouchPad charger is a large black plug (transformer) which twists apart into two pieces. The plug is detachable so that the part can be replaced with other international plugs. It is supposed to twist apart so that it can be detached. But it will sometimes twist apart because of the USB plug pulling on it. If you twist it back together it will work. It has happened to me and my customers many times. I am a former HP employee who worked in an internal support organization.

It is charging my rooted HP Touchpad running Android as I type this, but pretty much all chargers that output 5v1A do so. It's possible that the people saying it doesn't charge are running the stock operating system. I wouldn't expect anything except the OEM charger to work if it's not running Android.
