You are probably touching the touchpad as you type. Try disabling it and see what happens. Connect a mouse first though

Try control panel input devices

Apparently, Fn+F9 disables the touchpad on Toshiba laptops.

The function key is key labelled Fn and should be somewhere near the Ctrl key. I don't have a Toshiba so I don't know for sure.

Have you got insert switched on? It can sometimes cause the cursor to jump around. On the top right of your keyboard there is a key with INS on. Try pressing that and see if things change. If not, plug a USB keyboard in and try typing. That will tell you if the problem is with your laptop keyboard input or mousepad, or if it is a problem with your laptop itself.

The function key is key labelled Fn and should be somewhere near the Ctrl key. I don't have a Toshiba so I don't know for sure.

The Fn key is between ctrl and the windows key on the bottom left. I think I have the same model as you but no problems with typing.
