Hey everyone, just wondering what are ways to clean and fix the Touchpad when it becomes unresponsive randomly. I have a button which resets the connection to it, however it will sometimes stop working 5 seconds after moving it, making it nearly impossible to use my touchpad. I've used a usb wireless mouse however during class there is not enough room on these desks, and using a mousepad on my thigh sometimes just looks weird.

Anyway, looking for some help possible on advice to clean the Touchpad or diagnose the issue and fix it.

Laptop is an ACER, if that helps.

update/reinstall drivers
open it and clean it
check the cables are securely connected

to open it, it's located underneath the mobo normally, correct?
updated/reinstalled the drivers
