I bought a refurb laptop and after only about 6 months the trackpad became unusable when plugged into the power supply (this is the one that came with the laptop, I have not replaced it)

Then, we tried to hook it up to the TV through HDMI to watch something and same thing happens, trackpad makes you want to put your fist through a wall just trying to click a button.

And yes, I know I should have contacted the seller right away but I didn't, so here I am over a year later trying to figure out if I should try something else to fix it or try to sell it as is, I moved to another laptop.

All the threads and info I have found pertain to just a power supply issue, obviously that is not the case with mine, any ideas or insight would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
