REALLY strange touchpad issue

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba laptop, and a really strange thing happens. When I touch the transformer (I think that's the term - it's the big black box in the middle of the power cable), usually resting my foot on it, the mouse pointer goes crazy. I can be using the touchpad fine, but as soon as my foot touches the transformer, the mouse pointer is jumping all over the place. It's not really an issue because as soon as I take my foot off again, it almost always goes back to normal (and if it doesn't, a restart normally sorts it). But it's really strange that it would affect it like that, and I wondered if anybody had an explanation.
Cheers
