Most will just use a mouse rather than repair.
The trackpad will intermittently only move scroll bars and will not allow the cursor to move or the trackpad buttons to work.
Anyone have any idea?

This is for a client. I haven't tried to repair anything. If it were me I'd just use an external mouse but he always used the trackpad. I looked at the settings and everything looks fine? I was thinking it could be dirty or something wrong with the actual trackpad.
Cleaning the trackpad here is the usual min charge. For same money, we replace and never try to save an old pad. However there are techs that want to save everything. Even at the risk of a later failure.

At 20 bucks, only your newest techs won't replace it.
