The most common reason that your cursor skips around is that you are touching the touch pad when typing. Some are more sensitive than others. On my Toshiba I had that problem, but it has a Fn key that allows me to turn off the touchpad. Problem went away when I went to a mouse instead. Had a client with a Dell with the same problem. I had to actually physically disconnect the touchpad and her problem went away. Now as for the first problem, (the HP), I'd say you have a stuck key on the keyboard. It would make that noise.
Here is the site I use when repairing laptops and get stuck. This tells and shows what you need to do. Good luck and have a good day. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/take-apart-hp-pavilion-dv6000-laptop/
Take the key off and check the depressor. Be gentle and try to remove only the key and leaving the retainer. If the depressor has moved or is stuck in a depressed position, this will cause your problem. If the depressor is good, then I'm afraid your keyboard has malfunctioned and will need replaced.
Probably the keyboard you got is defective. I have seen buttons working in very bad conditions. When a key doesnt work or several is bad news.
Try to get a replacement. Since you have already reseated this simply check if the flex cable is properly locked, (ear plugs or similar) and not moving.
