Bluetooth adapter: DBT-120

My Magic Trackpad loves to disconnect and then seconds later reconnect over and over again. This only happens while I'm not using the trackpad.

For example while typing the above text on my Apple bluetooth keyboard the trackpad disconnected / reconnected about 12 times.
The keyboard works perfectly but the trackpad is my problem.
I did a fresh install of Lion a couple of weeks ago and it worked fine till a couple of days ago. It happened on the last install of Lion as well :(
The trackpad works perfectly on my 2011 MacBook Pro.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Possibly have something interfering with the bluetooth signal, microwave, phone, rogue EMI. Or the batteries in your trackpad are flaky.

I'v tried new batteries all of different brands.

It's working fine now :\ I've ordered a bluetooth adapter from a MacBook Pro and I'm planning on adapting it for my hackintosh. I'll post about my results
