The trackpad on my mid-2012 MBP (Mojave 10.14.6) is acting up.
It works fine for a while but then will stop responding or respond erratically. If I reboot, everything will be fine for 30-40 minutes then it starts the same behavior.
I zapped PRAM, but the behavior continues. I checked for malware, but nothing shows up, I've closed programs but no change. I thought about hardware, but then why would a reboot temporarily correct it immediately?
I do need a new battery (745 cycles, 64% capacity), but that would be more of a hardware issue and a reboot shouldn't matter - right?
any ideas?
