Hey Tristan,

I had that problem a while back.  Beneath the track pad, the cable that 
connects the track pad to the logic board can get pinched by the metal 
frame and cause that "freeze."  If you take off the bottom, you can see 
that cable.  If you place a piece of Scotch tape on that cable (where 
it's rubbing on the metal frame), that should fix your "freeze" problem 
(at least it did for me).

Sincerely,
Brad
