Can you make it happen by pressing down on the touchpad in various places or around the F6 key?
I had a similar problem in an older Lenovo laptop where the touchpad didn't work intermittently as the cursor would scroll to the top right corner of the screen and stay there regardless of what I tried.
I think that it must have been shorting out on the motherboard as after a while it must have flexed back into position and starting working again until the next time.
I ended up having to place a piece of insulating material between the touchpad and the motherboard to stop it from happening. I cut open an old anti static bag that I had and cut a piece to size so that it prevented the touchpad from touching the motherboard.

Perhaps I was too heavy handed when using the touchpad.
