Macbook Air cursor jumping

After trying everything on the apple discussions/support and youtube and the only thing working was ignoring trackpad in Accessability in settings and using wired usb mouse (not feasible) I replaced the trackpad itself from a non-functioning macbook air with same model number and VOILA!! cursor is no longer jumping around etc; back to normal.

Keyboard and trackpad stop working after upgrade to Ventura 13.0.1 After i upgraded my macbook pro M1 14" to Ventura 13.0.1, the keyboard (external Apple bluetooth keyboard as well as the built in one) and some functions of the trackpad and Bluetooth mouse stop working. If i restart the computer, they resume working for a short time but inevitably fail again regardless of what software I am using. The issue appeared immediately after upgrading to Ventura and no other updates are available.

Magic Trackpad haptic feedback not working after Ventura update on Macbook Pro My laptop: Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2017 macOS: 13.0.1 (22A400) I updated to the mac os Ventura recently, but the haptic feedback on my Magic Trackpad stopped working. All the clicks are working fine, just the vibration is missing, any help please? (the built-in trackpad on my laptop is working fine) I've tried to turn off the Magic Trackpad for few hours, and turn it back on. The haptic feedback worked for few seconds, but soon stopped. Disconnecting the trackpad or restarting the laptop won't help as well.

my MacBook air 2010 trackpad jumps when the plug is not using the extra extension from the "brick' to the outlet.

the extra prong helps give the MacBook more power,I discovered.
