Inspiron 8200 cursor

[jmaffia]

Buying a dell is like drinking too much, it seems like a good idea until you wake up in the morning. This thing is crap.

I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with their cursor jumping around when they are typing. It is happening in word and other application that i am typing. I will be tapping along, and BOOM there my cursor is, four rows up from the sentence that i am typing.

I cant find a patch and was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this utterly annoying situation.

Erratic cursor is an error that seems to pop up. It seems to afflict the C range more but appears in other systems.Changing some parts cures it
