My wacom graphire 4 stylus is malfunctioning

In the Control Panel for the pen, hold down CTRL (PC) or ALT (Mac) and click on the About button to open the diagnostic screen. Look at the value for "Pressure" on the right hand side - this should stay at 0 until the pen is brought into contact with the tablet.
If it shows a high value (above 50), then you pen may be defective and, if in warranty, will be replaced. A half hour ago, my pen gave a value of 220 and, being well out of warranty, cannot be replaced for free. However, it now gives a value of 0 and works perfectly. The solution? I bashed it (side on) on the table top and against the flat of my hand for about 10 minutes as per a low-tech solution on the Wacom-Europe forum. With each series of smacks, the pressure fell toward 0. If you can't get it below about 60, it may still be okay as there is a pressure offset control in the diagnostic panel that goes up to 59.
Good luck! Alastair.

Tablet Pen Won't Release After Clicking

I have just begun to have the same issue. For me it is happening even with using the pen to open Photoshop and though it's in Photoshop where the problem begins, it isn't fixed by quitting the software. It remains click-activated for the entire system and only a restart will fix it which is very impractical. Previously the issue was that it wouldn't release the option(alt) key. Relaunching Finder would fix this issue but not the click problem. Very frustrating!

My wacom pen is selecting everything i scroll it over.

I agree with nteper. I called Wacom and was told to update drivers (Done) - no change, then called Wacom and was told to dish out $30 for a new pen... FAT CHANCE! this thing was barely used and less than 6 mos old. A few good TWACKS against my palm did the trick and guess what? I got to keep my $30 bucks. I read the issue with the piezo sensor in the pen can get impacted by the nibs if left stored upright... I will not do that again! anyway! if you have to buy a pen, might as well go "caveman" on the thing and see if it works.

Hello I am trying to share the wacom board on zoom and I get the notification: Screen sharing has fail to start. please try again later. error code 0

When installing Zoom

Error 0

Error 0 can be caused by:
  • Error encountered when upgrading from Version 0.9 or 1.0
  • The source link of the Zoom installer package is broken
  • An antivirus software like AVG that could have quarantined the files that were downloaded by the Zoom Installer

Intuous pen "sticking"

Take out the "nib" and whack it on your desk (or drop it on the floor from 3 feet up). It re-seats the "nib" sensor when it's stuck. If this doesn't work, then the sensor may be too damaged.

Wacom tablet stopped working, blue light on.

Hey I had this problem too with my Bamboo too, I'm not sure if it was anything I changed or whatever but either way the blue light was on but it wasn't registering the pen.

I found a way just minutes ago to fix it however!

Go into 'start', 'all programs', then look for 'pen tablet'. Hopefully you should have this. If not then download the latest driver for your tablet from the wacom website and that should install it.

Next choose 'pen tablet preference file utilty'. Then under 'my preferences' choose to remove. Bingo! All was well in the world again.

This worked for me so hopefully it will for some of you guys too! Good luck!

Wacom Intuos Pro continues flashing a single white light, and no longer responds on any computer or with any USB cable, is it the battery or the wiring inside?

Laptops are much more limited on the supply side for powering USB devices. This is limited by the operating system in the computer. There are some things that you can try such as a shorter cord if the cord is detachable. The cord length affects the voltage and that in turn affects the current. The OS then senses it a drops the connection. This is partly for safety and partly for battery conservation. For some time, that device was not recommended by Apple to be used for that matter. There was a bulletin issued on it but it appears that Apple did not do anything to change the situation.

Wacom mouse KC-100-00

I would uninstall the drivers, reboot, and let your OS install the mouse. Then try to re-install the new drivers that were released by Wacom yesterday available at the link I provided. (You probably got them there, I don't know) If it goes 'wonky' again, uninstall the new drivers and use the older ones provided on the website or just let you OS install if it will. https://www.wacom.com/en-sg/support/product-support/drivers

I can't install wacom bamboo, there is error code 4010, 4020. What should I do ?

Follow the instructions from Wacom here: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/support?guideTitle=How-do-I-uninstall-and-re-install-the-Wacom-driver-on-Windows-for-a-Pen-Tablet%2C-Pen-Display%2C-or-Pen-Computer%3F&guideId=001-671, but instead of steps 2 and 3, use Revo uninstaller free version to remove the entire app package and drivers (https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html). Then restart the Wacom instructions at Step 4. Good luck!

Wacom babmboo pen does not work

If the eraser part of your pen works but the business-end doesn't, this fix may be for you. Since the only option is to replace the whole pen, it's worth the try. The interesting part: There is no "live" powered electronics in the pen (it is a simple L-C circuit for you tech-weenies out there) - truly the only way to make the pen not work is to drop it and knock it out of adjustment, use it as a crude paper punch, or get it soaked with some type of fluid such as coffee, beer or soda. The pen is an excellent design is designed to just eventually wear out. My pen is 10 years old and still looks new.

I needed a small jeweler's screwdriver for this fix (1 mm to 1.2 mm width). Carefully remove the rocker switch from the pen; it just pulls out. Don't lose it. See the image below: there is an itsy bitsy slotted screw-like device in the center (it's a tuning capacitor). For its location, follow the white arrow in the picture I've attached. Prior to turning, memorize where the slot-head points (there's a tiny triangle on it), and if possible, use a fine point sharpie to mark the screw before you adjust it. It is not a "screw" per se, but an adjustable capacitor and part of the tuned circuit.

The adjustment: Place the pen as normal on the tablet and "tweak" the capacitor by a small 1/16 or 1/8 turn in either direction until the pen reacts. If it has gotten out of "resonance" this tweak should kick it back in.

Good luck!magriv_0.jpg
