      @redenchilada The tablet should have a tool for that. Otherwise grab it with a pair of scissors. If it snapped then you have to disassemble it.

        @nerthos Eh. I'll just stick the thing in my backpack and give it to anyone who wants it, letting them know the pen has issues with sporadically not-working sometimes and might need a bit of DIY

          @redenchilada If it "sporadically not-works" then it's probably the sensor or something unwelded.

            @nerthos There's a pretty good chance. The pen's casing actually comes apart if you pull it now.

              @redenchilada That could be it. In some models movement of the casing can damage the welding on the buttons, opening the circuit. If the tablet finds an anomaly on the circuit it sometimes won't recognize the pen.

                @nerthos Well, it's not that it won't recognize it. It's that it won't recognize when the pen's not touching the surface, so if it's in range for the tablet to pick it up it's always registering as being pressed down.

                  @redenchilada Then it's definetly the sensor.
