Finally... The touchpad works great!

And what makes you say that exactly? I already admitted new firmware works way better than before which I guess pretty much proves that it was loaded successfully.

Described issue is not easy to reproduce -- it occurs rarely usually after many hours spent at PBP. If feels almost as if firmware went into some loop which it cannot exit until reboot. It's not something that happens all the time. And judging by this forum I'm not the only one experiencing the issue. Just noted that new firmware does not solve this one. It's possible that touchpad is defective... wouldn't be the first defective part in my PBP.

And I'm all ears to hear how software can be responsible for generating hardware events.
