Guys I've been working on this a little bit,
I've replaced a few pen batteries so far, and I intend to get everyone up and running again with their Tablets. I've created a website for my replacement service. I have typically done battery replacements because 90% of the time it seems that is the problem. But, I've also applied other fixes.
Please email me if you're having issues with your Tablet PC stylus/pen:
kevinteman AT hotmail DOT com
Or see my website at: kevinteman.com/stylusrepair
I may be able to get you running.
Thanks for your time,

Cant get Finepoint pen to work
21-Apr-07
I have a CX200x from Gateway. The pen recently stopped working and since MS
or Gateway would not help me I had to to a complete system recovery loosing
everything. But even after I did the SR the pen still wont work. I hardly
used the pen in the past. Does this pen have a battery? I have not tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the pen cuz I'm not sure which
drivers in the device manager to uninstall. Can someone please point me in
the right direction?

I've got a CX2724 and I can attest to the fact that the digitizer is
horrible. Mine hasn't worked right since day one but I haven't gotten a
"break" long enough to send it back to them. It'll be out of warranty in
August so I guess I'd better hurry...
But anyway, mine got so bad that if I closed the lid while the pen was in
the tablet, it would start "clicking" all over the screen furiously. Really
bad because it winds up doing things like hitting delete buttons and then
clicking yes on the confirmation dialogs. I disabled the digitizer in device
manager and the problem went away. It's a shame cause it's a really nice
machine otherwise. I'll probably buy another Gateway but only if it has a
Wacom digitizer.
I think you're gonna have to send it in.

Actually the Finepoint pen is a recurring issue with the Gateway tablets and
Gateway knows it. Just contact them and they'll send you a replacement,
provided you're still under warranty. They did that for me and I've had no
problems since.

They've sent me two and I still have the problem. I'm pretty sure it's the
digitizer cause even when it was working it wasn't working well and there
was a strip across the bottom of the screen that wouldn't recognize right
clicks. Seems like that would be a digitizer issue since other areas of the
screen were able to right click ok.
But Susan's may be the pen. It might be worthwhile just to send the whole
unit in while it's under warranty so that they can make sure it works right.

Pen battery
All,
There is DEFINITELY A PEN IN THE CX2620 stylii. I just replaced mine with a AAAA battery. The old one (which is a AAAA size, you can find these inside 9-volt batteries) had acid buildup on its positive end and that is why the pen went inactive. There is a lot of debate over this pen problem and I guarantee 90% of the time it's related to the battery. I can do a clean replace on anybody's CX2620 pen/stylii with a fresh battery for $10. If interested email me at [email]***@hotmail.com[/email] . You pay for shipping, your total about $17 or so. I have never done this before but I just replaced mine flawlessly so I can do others. I know there are a lot of dead stylii out there and people don't know what to do, took me a while to figure it out.
Thanks,
Kevin Teman
