My Pen Doesn't Work

Mine did this, too. I twisted the bottom half a few times (trying to take it apart) and it started working normally again.

Hi, Um does the "Mouse" work OK, if so I think ya gonna find a broken/bad connection inside ya "Pen" inside ya "Pen" you'll likely find a "Coil" of wire that is used for sensing. maybe the connections are bad?

"Mine did this, too. I twisted the bottom half a few times (trying to take it apart) and it started working normally again."

I just wanted to reaffirm that twisting the eraser end 5-6 times solved the problem for me. Most likely it's not a cure-all, but another suggestion to try out.

read the above and gave my pen a few good wacks on the wall and hey presto!!
cheers everyone!

I was just looking for the answer to this exact question (old tablet and pen $#!^ing the bed) when I look down at my pen and to my horror the big main button had popped off (I must have thrown my pen down, careless) but anyway that solved my problem it must have been that the button was sticking to the sensor, i never used that button anyway.

this may be a driver issue in mac os x. my pen works perfectly in windows but has this problem in mac os x...I'm looking for solutions...just a heads up
