pen working with same gaps

[guglielmo-frigerio]

Hi everybody,

I've been using my surface pen happily for a long time.
About two weeks ago however, the pen started to work intermittently: as soon as I lift the pen from the display it stop working for several seconds and I have to wait moving the pen over the diplay until I see it starts to write again, which is very annoying.
I changed the pen's battery to no avail.
Does every body has a similar issue?

Guglielmo

Pull the nib out and reset it and see if that fixes it - also taking some isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip to clean around the battery compartment and connector can help as well.
