In a nutshell: "yank out the old one, then shove the new one in" haha
pretty much yes but its better to check yt before yanking out :D
I knew it would be easy but still went to check this video just to be safe. Thanks!
Thank you again for this great capsule! I would like to propose a Surface Pro Tips Capsule and it is about how to optimize the performance of our Surface when it is started to get slow because of many technical issues.
Thanks
Thanks! My replacement tips almost got lost in the mail but they're finally here lol.
Thanks for the video! My tip broke two days prior an important presentation 😑I just got one in a 1-day shipping on amazon.
Great help for Surface Pro pen. Many thanks. Off to my computer store today for a pack of new stylus tips.
Thanks , I didn't know I have to change and now my pen tip doesn't have the black cover around it and idk how to pull it out but I'll figure it out. Anyway I have a question, when I draw in onenote the pen line doesn't appear straight it's kinda messy? Is it because the pen tip? If not how do I fix it?
Yes, that is most likely because your pen tip is broken.
Hi ....my pen tip stuck inside the pen from the first week using it ... I don’t know what to do
Video starts at 2:00
very useful thanks
You saved me with Your Clip!
Thanks for this Video. You saved me from buying a new pen!
What happens if the tip breaks while it inside the pen. How does one take the broken tip out?
Do the pen tips that you linked fit the HP Spectre x2 stylus? Just broke mine in school
my pen fell and snapped the head completely out and now i cant grip it any suggestion on how to remove
Thanks that was useful!
Thank you. You've just made me save 100 euros.
hey i own the surface pro 3 with the pen. My pens tip doesn't seem to be functioning. The top button is working and performs all its functions. Could you give me a tip on how to fix it. The tip is not bent and doesnt seem to be damaged
First I would try changing the battery. If that doesn't work, sometimes the antenna wire inside the pen barrel breaks causing the issue you describe. Unfortunately it's not really possible to repair. I've seen it happen a few times over the years. The Pro 3 pens were especially noted for this.
how do you take the tip out if you can't do it via tweezers? Can we screw the top off the new model as I can't get it out - it si too short after damage
Oooh. That sounds like a problem! I don't think the end of the pen screws off, but it would be worth looking at some other videos on TH-cam where they open up the pen. It's a little destructive, but you could get an idea of how it could be disassembled...
@@oztabletpc I'm having a bit of this problem too. Particularly, the black casing came off my pen tip, which is why I"m replacing it, and there is enough of the grey bit to grasp but I'm worried that that won't take the casing with it. Any tips/help?
thanks
thanks for the help
Great video!
Thanks for covering how to remove the pen tip when it's broken inside the pen...
Happy to help. Thanks for watching, Mike.
So, this method and replacement tip works for both surface pen with clip and no clip (latest version)?
Yes. The tips are slightly different, but the method is the same...
@@oztabletpc so the replacement tip actually for which version?
Thank you so much 🙏
Hello! I just purchased a surface pro 7 and have been binge watching your videos. I was very undecided between this and the new iPad pro but ultimately went with this mainly for the portability and access to Photoshop etc. Just wanted some advice for a couple of points: is there a tip for the surface pen that's closest to the apple pencil e.g a hard tip? I don't particularly enjoy the friction with the standard rubber tip and just want the best experience for writing notes/ small diagrams. Could you link one? Im in Australia too. I love the eraser so don't want to switch to a different stylus.
Would you recommend a screen protector that might enhance the surface pen experience? E.g. the paperlike one for the iPad?
And lastly - could you recommend anyway for me to get mobile/ android apps on the surface pro? Firstly I can't find a good calendar/ organisation app particularly one that I can use my pen for - I used Google keep, calendar, photos etc alot on my iPad and would love to have this on the surface pro. I also have subscriptions to certain medical reference apps where the mobile application allows me to download offline content as the internet is quite flimsy at work. Thanks so so much!!
Whoa! Huge comment, lot's of questions! Thank you! Before I start, let's keep in mind that a Surface is a completely different beast to the iPad. It's more like a better Macbook (that doesn't need an iPad too) than an iPad. Through that lens, a lot of things change. But firstly, there are 3 different pen tips styles and they come in a pack. The hardest tip is the one you want. Nice and fast on the screen, but still less than half of the noise of the Apple pencil! You'll find that at a Surface retail store (JB, HN, Good Guys in AU). For calendar, I use both Outlook and the Windows Calendar app. They each have their advantages. The Windows Mail and Calendar apps are touch and pen friendly and do a pretty good job IMO. My suggestion for Surface would be to ditch Google Keep and go to OneNote, Sticky Notes. I understand that this might be a big ask. Since Google refuse to make apps for Windows, I tend to steer clear of them. These days Microsoft make apps for every platform, so for me their products beat Apple and Google every time. Instead of Chrome, I use Microsoft Edge (built on the Chromium engine), but you can use Google's browser extensions in Edge. So that might get you started with Keep etc. I can't comment on your medical subscription apps, but it would be worth checking with those suppliers. There may be an option for an app from the Microsoft Store or something that you can download directly from the supplier. Also, if a reference is offered online, there may be a way to keep it available offline in the browser. It would need a bit of research... Unfortunately the Microsoft Store is nowhere near as populated as the App Store on iPad - perhaps because it is not a walled garden, but one of many options for obtaining software. But things are slowly changing on that front.
@@oztabletpc thank you so much! I have purchased those tips and look forward to receiving them. I love google photos and so started using keep and the calendar but I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of those. May I ask - which smart phone do you use? I have the pixel phone - probably why I'm so inclined towards google :)
@@indiarulz9 Galaxy Note 10. Microsoft have lots of great stuff on Android too which is good!
Good Video !
How to replace the senser above the tip?
Thank you so much for this! I didn't think I damaged mine but my screen does work with my finger. I guess they should have made PEN CAPS sheesh.
I have a surface pen 3, my tips don’t appear to slide in, it just gets stuck and I’m forced to struggle to take it out again. Is it known for the tips to not work with this pen?
The pen that came with the Pro 3 and Surface 3 had very different pen tips to the current surface pens.
@@oztabletpc Quite fast, thanks for the speedy response :)
I managed to get it working after a couple years. The tip protrudes a bit more, and when drawing, it fails to recognise the occasional soft stroke. However, its working fine. Thanks again!
Thank you!
Have you seen anywhere that sells replacements of the bottom cover that covers the pen tip? I seem to not be able to find it anywhere
I haven't sorry. If you've lost that, you'll probably need s new pen.
Thanks!
my pen tip isnt broken or bent or anything, but it's not registering on the screen even tho the eraser bit is. i've been looking around and i can't figure out why it's happening 😞 i've been using my tablet for school, so any help would be appreciated
This video should explain the problem: th-cam.com/video/91JPHC_tWeQ/w-d-xo.html
Hello! I’m using Acer Spin 1, it comes with a Active stylus that only have 1 nib extra.
I searched where can I buy one but nothing came out.
Some say that Microsoft surface nib can be a replacement,
I’m asking if it can be? Thank you!
It's possible, but sorry I don't know the Acer pens well enough. It looks like there are lots of variations.
shoot is the older version of pen tip compatible with the new one
Depends which ones you have. Check with this guide for a reference: th-cam.com/video/GhPRtdt_duE/w-d-xo.html
Hi, my surface pro 7 pen tip broke, is any other surface pro (3,4,5) pen tip compatible so that I can replace it in my 7?
The Pro 7 pen is the same as the Pro 5 and 6 models.
thaNKS !
I have had the tip break off the end any tips on removing the part stuck inside of the pen.
I need help with that too! same thing has happened to me and I cant figure how to take it out
@@brianacontreras1051 I ended up just using long nosed pliers to rip get the end off. I scuffed up the end bit a a little but it works not and it's better than buying a whole new pen.
@@damnhatesyou I tried with tweezers but it didn't work
@@marisacasciola7287 you have to rip the metal cone around the nib off.
Will a different pen tip work with the Microsoft surface pens
There's nothing particularly special about the tip, but a non-Surface pen tip is unlikely to fit properly.
Is the old pacage compatible with the new pen?
You can make the softer B and HB styles work with a bit of a squeeze. The harder tips will not fit.
I can't unscrew it mine is super tight
There is no unscrewing. Perhaps watch the video?
Could you please make a video for disassembling surface pro 7 pen, my tip stuck inside so I tried to open the front cap and get the rest out, after I replace the tip of my pen, it just show mouse pointer I can't click or even write with it?
and yes I have tried everything related to the software
Hehe, yeah. Software is not going to help getting the pen tip out! I have wanted to make this video for a while, and I have a couple of dead pens here to use for it. But it would be a little while until you see it... So in the meantime, has the tip sheared off? If there's something to grasp at, see if you can use some tweezers to pull it out.
@@oztabletpc Sorry, if I didn't explain it on a good way, So the tip of my pin broke inside the front cap, so I tried to get out by needle, so I heat the needle and stuck inside to let it stuck with the tip, and when it cold, I pull it off but is stuck so hard and when I pull it out the cap, and a small piece of the pen comes out.
I get the melted tip out and replace it with a new tip, but the pen just shows the mouse pointer, and I can't write or even click.
The others function work great " the eraser and the Lower button"
*U may see the picture on reddit, since I posted my problem there..

@@Power-yd2xs sorry. I didn't read it properly. Thanks for the link! If that's happening now with a new tip in place of day something is not seated right and the sensor is jammed on. Or the sensor could have failed during the repair...
@@oztabletpc Yeah, that's what I thought, I tried to find I video to how teardown surface pen or even explain how everything can be seat in the right way, but I cannot find even a single one. Plus, I tried to search for replacement parts "the Sensor" sadly, there is nothing.
I think there's no hope...
how can you tell when it needs to be replaced?
When it's broken, cracked or bent.
can chante the pen tip on the new surface pen slim?
Good question. Don't know yet...
So I just literally pull it out?
The tip of this model is wobbly as we can see it in the video, it's very annoying.
is it normal that when i oredered one pack, i got 9 of these packs. i paid 25 is this the normal amount or did someone do something wrong
Where did you order it from?
@@oztabletpc microspot, its our tech market here in switzerland
@@luanskrelja232 sorry, I'm not sure if that is normal. They could be sold and packaged differently in Switzerland.
@@oztabletpc ok, but when you bought them, did you pay 25 for one package of 3s
@@luanskrelja232 We're in Australia so our currency is quite different. It's AUD$29 for a pack with 3 different tips, or AUD$129 for a pack of 80 standard tips.
Can you tell me how to get apps like roblox or TH-cam or stuff like that, cuz I'm 12 and i recently got my dad's old surface tablet
Microsoft Store for Roblox or go to the Roblox website. Google refuse to make a Windows app for TH-cam unfortunately (because of competition), so you can use other apps from the Microsoft Store like MyTube. Or you can just use the TH-cam website. Hope that helps.
What if I'm an idiot and unscrewed the top instead... Now I can't get it on
can the pen tip for surface pro 4 work with surface pro 7 pen
The standard and the softer pen tip for the Pro 4 pen do fit.
my tip: you can also use your teeth to "yank out" the old one
True. Didn't wanna encourage it... 😂😁😂😁
See nobody talks about the problems I'm having mine is drawing when it's not even touching the pad
I have heard people have that issue on Windows 10 a lot, I personally have windows 8.1 on my Surface Book and occasionally my pen will draw crappy lines in photoshop when hovering not actually pressing down, a restart usually fixes it for me but I assume you've probably tried that...My first fix is usually just taking out the battery for a few seconds and putting it back in.
It's usually caused by a low pen battery.
🤣tweezers, nails, and teeth lol!!
Excuse me sir, my surface pen is not working properly, it’s brand new one
Check that it is unpacked properly (outer plastic wrap removed) and activate the pen by clicking on the eraser button for 7 seconds. Once that's done try again...
'Hache-B'
It's how we say it in Australia. There's no 'ache without the hache!
