This is because it has quick jump so if you press on the right hand side then it'll jump to the right hand side

This sounds like either the software driving the pad has crashed or the touch pad need calibrating.

A reset should sort the software problem and you can calibrate the touch pad via Main Menu\Settings\G-sense Settings....

But if I read your post correcty you have already tried these.

Only other thing I can suggest is to let the VP discharge completely and then re-initiate the system. (you won't loose any data on the HDD).
One thing I would suggest is once you put it back on charge resist the temptation to touch the pad until the unit is fully charged and ready to calibrate.

Personally i have come to the conclusion that the touchpad has thermal scanners to identify your finger movement.
sometimes when i touched it with sweaty hands,it misunderstood my movements and sometimes stopped overall.so i suggest giving it a good wipe with a dry cloth.

but maybe thats not the case at all.i dont know,im just proposing a solution.

Nope, it works like a touchpad from a notebook, but then with several buttons integrated... (uses 'static' electricity from your fingers to detect movement)
