Okay, i'm posting this here since the model is pretty new and my googles haven't turned up anything.
half an hour ago i was just drawing using my intuos4, when all of a sudden, after moving the pen away from the surface (lifting the pen) and putting it back on, the pen stopped working!
Strange thing is; only the pen seems to be affected.
The eraser works fine, and the buttons work when i'm using the eraser side of the pen.
i've tried rebooting, changing pen nibs etc, but nothing seems to help.
i'd take a look inside the pen but i'm clueless as to how to open it up without utterly destroying the pen..
any suggestions?
oh yeah, and ps, i'm doing my MA in illustration and the deadline is in 2 days, supposed to graduate in 2 weeks, so i'd rather try to fix the pen quickly, then to just turn it in for the warrenty..
Help me H/A, you're my only hope!
edit: also, in one of my random skinner box-like aproaches to fixing this thing i got it to respond again for about a second. right after i re-entered the old nib and twisted it a bit. Have tried doing the same again, but got no result.
