I have a early 2008 white macbook. 2.4 ghz core 2 duo, 4gb ram, 160gb harddrive.

Recently I have found that when I type, the cursor jumps. This seems to happen when I place pressure on the keyboard on the laptop while typing. I think the battery may be bumping the underside of the trackpad, and causing it to click elsewhere on screen. The result is that I will be typing a sentence, and look up and find half my sentence in the middle of a word in another paragraph.

Sometimes it seems to happen more than others. The other day, I could not type straight, but today it seems fine.

Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks
