It's been bothering me for a while. What are the symptoms of the batteries of a tablet pen running out?

It's glitching and it's almost 2 years old so it's about time the batteries should get replaced. I have my doubts though, seeing as a button on it doesn't work either - it doesn't click. Could have happened during a fall... In which case, "oops". It could be the nib too although it's not totally short.

As I draw, it stops working periodically but revives after I thrash about or wait. A simple pressure-click seems to work somewhat though and the remaining other button too.

Anyone see anything familiar here?

Edit: Changing the pen nib didn't help. The buttons might be the problem... And something else. I can move the cursor around but I can't drag things or draw lines... Rather than batteries or nibs, it seems that there's something up with the inner-workings. Though I hope not!

My pen doesn't have batteries...
I'm not sure what might have went wrong- did you drop it on the floor or something at some point? o3o Go to your nearest Apple store and maybe they can help you fix it?

I have dropped it before, of course (^^;)... The issues began after I moved over to my brother's computer. But I can't remember if it was happening before. I'm leaning towards some error during installation or something.

Yep. I just have to find the installation instructions cuz I installed without them. Maybe I did something wrong.

Hmm don't know about yours but mine does not have battery. Pen does not need electricity at all.

Unfortunately, mine needs one. I've determined it to not be the problem though.

It could be the pen running out of power.
It could also be that your driver is corrupted.
Or it could be that your tablet is on it's last legs.

I've killed several tablets so far, and I've almost had my pen die on me.
But, all these tablets were wacoms that I killed.

I found this on you type of tablet?
"Pen uses a AAA battery. It has two buttons, one for scrolling and the other for right-click menus."
So that could be the problem.

I'll just have to try everything :I

Yeah, that sounds right although I can change what the buttons do.
