My pen quit writing, I spent $80 on a new one and it still won't write. I've done all of the troubleshooting that is suggested including hard reset and factory reset. When contacting Amazon customer service all they had to say was that it wasn't under warranty anymore

Kindle Scribe: Is there another fix for this pen

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:29:08 -0700

Through experimentation, my new Kindle Scribe Pen was made usable by putting an aluminum foil shield that is 1 cm x 12 cm, over the side of the pen that has the groove and magnets, with tape. I had to tune it first, by sliding it up and down, moving it closer or further away from the base of the cone tip, for this to work. Otherwise, the pen seems to be "too strong" and writes 1 1/2 cm away from the surface and leaves trail marks. It's now working fine, but no longer has the sleek manufactured look. Online, this looks to be a frequent problem. Any other suggestions?
