Strange issue with my laptop touchpad

[kamirao]

Got a toshiba laptop p205d-s8804. The issue is that touchpad only works well when laptop is in my lap. So a true laptop
When it is on table, bed or anywhere else, cursor only moves when I give massive pressure with my thumb and still cursor movement is quite bumpy. I think the sensor inside is loose so require a good pressure of my fist which is only possible when laptop is in my lap.

Just want to ask:

1. Is it a common issue?
2. Can it be repaired or touchpad replaced?
3. If yes, is it feasible to do so for a 2nd hand laptop which I got for Rs. 21,500?
