The track pad is not moving your cursor or your screen is jumpy or uncontrollable.
If the cursor is not responding or seems jumpy when trying to use the trackpad, you may need to clean it internally. You can do this by removing the keyboard cover and using a compressed air or cloth to clean the internal component of the trackpad to remove dust or any dirt that may be causing the problem.
If you have tried cleaning the trackpad and you are still having problems then you may consider replacing the trackpad completely.

The keyboard does not work or certain keys do not respond when pressed.
