Does this laptop have one of those built-in touch pad type mice? If so, that is where the problem lies. When they become defective, they do sometimes drift. And that only gets worse. The way to fix it is to take apart the laptop and either remove the attached cable or cut the cable and then the touchpad will no longer function and thus the drift will stop.

Surely it would be better to disable the touchpad in device manager (assuming it's Windows)

It does have a touchpad, yes. I'll try disabling it in Windows device manager and see if that sorts it. Thanks for the suggestion!
