PRASU72,
Those are great troubleshooting steps! Thank you.
We suggest to reset the system management controller (SMC) and NVRAM next. Resetting the SMC will reset the power flow through your system, and the NVRAM will reset graphics and display issues.
How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
If neither of those resets work for you, try the tips outlined here:
If your pointer is jumpy when you use a trackpad, Magic Trackpad, or Magic Mouse - Apple Support
Good luck!
