    It's so fortunate that we had the exact same pen with literally the exact same issue. You are a godsend and just saved me $50 from having to buy a new pen. That may not seem like much but for a broke student like me, it's the world. Thank you so much man!

    thanks so much for posting this video , my pen also broke one wire off from the pc board, followed your instruction and work slowly and gently. You just saved me R1200 in South African currency ($63) and I now have a happy 15 year old again ! Luckily electronics is also my hobby so soldering was not a problem , but it shouldn't be a big one for your average person , or just take it to a phone repair shop and ask them to solder the wire back on if you cant do it yourself.

Yes that's a good point, I should have maybe mentioned that in my video, I can imagine a electronic repair shop might do it for free or for very cheap since it is such a quick and easy job. glad to hear it helped!

Turned out to be the exact same issue. So glad that fixing the issue was this easy, that's hopefully put 3 or so years back into this pen. Thank you for this tutorial.

Spent hours updating drivers, redownloading and reinstall software to no avail. Saw this video and open up my pen and what do I find? one of the wire is no longer attached to the soldering. A quick soldering and the pen is working like new, no more pen skips, no lags. Thanks again for this great video. saved me from buying a new expensive pen and a lot of headache.

It's unfortunate that it seems to be a common problem, but its' nice that its at least not super hard to fix. Glad to hear it worked for you!

    Thanks a lot for the video. I dropped my pen and, the nib broke and there was no way to replace it without taking the pen apart. The remaining part of the nib was inside the little pipe in the coil and it was really difficult to get a grip both with my fingernails or with the tool for removing the nibs. Luckily my nail cutter did the job. I extracted the broken nib, put another one, assembled the pen and now everything works fine.

    Thank you SOO SOO much!! i struggled alot trying to separate the pen, it just wouldn't budge. I suggest removing the rubber part of the pen, since in my case the rubber part kept spinning and turning so I couldn't put any pressure on the silver ring. BUT since the rubber part is removed be careful and don't don't press too hard because it's a little thin. and HUGE THANKS to my mom, she suggested using a rubber band or any kind of rubber to get a better grip on the pen. She did most of the work since I was tried and losing hope. After a few minutes we finally saw some movement! good news we had a soldering iron and extra solder, bad news is the tip of the soldering iron was kinda messed up and I had no experience, my mom did but she's far sighted and couldn't see well because it was small. Spent many hours yesterday trying, and accidentally dropped solder close to the chip (oops) couldn't get any progress done. Tried again today and I managed to fix it! but my stupidity got the best of me, I didn't EVEN *step out of the room* and I managed to drop the pen! so the wire disconnected again! the faces of my mom and sister when they saw me lol. I'm actually glad I dropped it since it removed the solder that fell close to the chip AND i managed to connect the wire better while soldering it.
    Long story short, it was a struggle haha!
    once again, thank you so much! if i hadn't seen your video I would have had to buy a new pen. They're VERY expensive here! 200+ in my currency!

      I also had this bedtime thought about the skill. I can vouch for sewing like you did for soldering because it's another useful skill that can reduce wasting. People throw away nearly new clothes because a button popped off. If you dive deeper into sewing, you can create a lot of things for much cheaper.

    I had the drawing while hovering and pressure problem. I tried to take my pen apart, but i have a recharcheable one and (luckily) was not able to seperate the handle from the rest of the pen.
    This may not work for you. You might break your pen. Be veeeery careful.
    I kind of sensed that the white pressure bit where the nib sits might be stuck or something. I could feel it when drawing, it just didnt have the same ability to press anymore.
    So I got a bobby pin/hair pin and removed the plastil bubble from the straight side. Very carefully put that end just right under the inner edge of the white pressure bit inside the pen. The nib was of course removed while doing this. I tried to pull up the bit in careful, circling motions. I didnt feel anything particular but when I put the nib back in, my problem was fixed and it didnt draw while hovering anymore. Dunno about the pressure sensitivity yet though, but at least the main problem is fixed.
    Hope this helps.
    And remember to use your own knowledge, I am not responsible if you break your pen.

    Opened the pen as per the video, all the wires were fine, the buttons are working fine, no issues, but I can't get into the detachable pen pressure nib unit without removing the wire connection points. Re-assembled, it's still working sort of, but yeah...
