  • I tried so many things but it wasn't responding. I updated all the drivers and I uninstalled the surface pen and installed again. Nothing happened. Lastly, I used Microsoft diagnostic tool and I fixed it.

    Thank you for this video. Do you know if this method works for any Stylus pen and touchscreens? I'm asking because I bought Lenovo ThinkPad P15v, which initially does not support a stylus pen even though it has a touchscreen. But I select this touchscreen as an option in the configurator. I am now waiting for the delivery of my PC and would like to know whether it is possible to use a pen and, if so, which pen to select. Thank you for your answers and for the video!

    I just did the diagnostic test and it didn't work so I am not sure what else to do. My pen eraser is working. I just switched batteries as wells so I know it is a new battery. Although the pen tip is still not writing, painting, or working at all. The green light does show up on the stylus though. Could this be a tip issue? A hardware issue in the pen or surface pro7?

This diagnostic tool's result didn't reveal a pen problem but somehow after restarting performing the diagnostic test And after restarting, the pen finally started writing. (Prior to the diagnostic test I tried various other troubleshooting methods like replacing the battery, unpairing and re-pairing the pen Bluetooth connection to the surface pro, etc.... Magically the pen stopped working on my other surface) .... But thanks to the combination of this this free diagnostic tool and restarting, the pen works on both of my surface Pro laptops.

    Tried this, didn't work, next step is to reset all the drivers related to the pen, still didn't work, then it's buy new tips for about $20, still didn't work. Warranty is expired so only option is to buy a new one. I'm not the only one on the customer service site asking about this so it's an extremely common problem with all the pens where right after the 1 year warranty expires the front burns itself out and you need to buy a new one for $100.
