Trackpad only working with certain hands?

Here's quite a tough one.

So I changed my friends wife's trackpad on her Macbook Pro. It works perfectly for me and my friend, but she can't seem to make any use of it.

It worked properly with the original trackpad up until a couple of months ago.

The trackpad we changed to was bought here. Is it the spare part that's not functioning properly, or should I tell my friends wife to get her hands replaced?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I've seen this caused by very dry skin. Also, using the power brick with the grounded cable might help.

I'll try with a grounded cable later. Dry skin is definitely a factor here, but should that really matter?

Yep, seen that happen. It's not a common problem but sometimes...
