Hi, There's likely an issue with the built-in Trackpad. The easiest way to confirm or remedy this would be to go into the Accessibility pane of System Preferences and select the Mouse option from within the Table. Stop Interacting with the Table and check the box that tells the OS to ignore your built-in Trackpad when an external mouse/Trackpad is connected. Connect any USB or Bluetooth mouse and it should be usable.
