How to fix Macbook’s trackpad problem (every click, the mouse moves as well)

Finally resolved this very annoying problem on my Mac’s trackpad.

Every time I do a click, it seems that the mouse moves as well (even though no movement is done in the trackpad).

So I asked tech support in iCenter, and he told me to try resetting my PRAM/NVRAM.

How to reset PRAM/NVRAM (from Apple Support Page) 

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
  3. Turn on the computer.
  4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
  5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
  6. Release the keys.

Your computer’s PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

NOTE:

Also, take note of the things plugged into your Macbook (charger, wired LAN, headsets,usb flash drive) coz this might also caused by some interruptions from this connections. In my problem, I found out that when I remove the charger from my mac, everything work’s fine, then when I plug it again, the problem goes back. Seems that my charger is connected to an extension power that is also connected to another extension power. So what I did is I connected my extension wire directly to the power socket, and it works fine. I don’t know what’s the reason behind this interruption but I’m pretty sure it solved the problem.
