I dropped my tablet pen and it is broken now. Only the eraser works. This is my second pen (I dropped the last) and I don't want to buy another one. Can I fix it?

Do this I swapped it and fixed everything it was a little complicated but worked
Lf only one end of the pen is not working and you dont use the other end, you can unsolder the copper coils eon-both ends and swap them over. Tip for opening: lift up the small blue bit nearest to the top, and then pull.
Same here I got an RMA refferal for a free pen from Wacom with or without registation!!!!

I think you dropped the pen on its tip and broke the little ferrite sensing core. You can try to repair it by gluing the core back together - it worked for me. For detailed instructions on how to do it, go here:

or you can try to swap the core for the eraser and the tip (more involved - you would need to be very good with a soldering iron to attempt this). Either way - it's unfortunate that the pen is so fragile and that the user manual doesn't really warn you of this.
Good luck!

My Dog chewed up the front of my pen... I'm not sure if theres a second one. I really don't wanna spend more money on another tablet because of 1 pen. I dropped it a couple times... and It still seems to work. It was pretty sturdy until my dog had to come and eat it for breakfast. Is there any other way to maybe get another pen without buying another tablet? I only got 1 pen from buying it.
Exact same problem: dropped Bamboo Fun pen, only eraser works.
My cat knocked my Pen off the table and now only the eraser works! I tried switching pen nibs and blowing into the hole but nothing is working! Please help!
