Pen keeps writing when not touching the tablet.

Has any one ever had this problem. I wonder if it means the battens needs
replacing? company T C1000 How long does the pen battery last anyway ? I am
on Tablet 2005. thanks. The Tablet has been a lifesaver as I broke my wrist &
this is allot easier than typing one handed'!

Re: Pen keeps writing when not touching the tablet.

Could very well be a battery, John, but I don't know how long they last.
Glad you like (or is it love?) your Tablet. 8-)

You might try recalibrating the pen in Control Panel/Tablet and Pen
Settings. You might also check the downloads here:

There is a System Enhancements Disk for Windows XP (SP2) and a Tablet PC
Change Mode Service update - both from September, 2004.

John

Have seen this before on one of our TC1000's. It's the nib
in the pen sticking so it permanently thinks its touching
the screen. A little bit of gentle fiddling sometimes
helps, but otherwise its a new pen I'm afraid.

Battery lasts 18 months - 2 years

Re: Pen keeps writing when not touching the tablet.

Thanks guys - it is intermittent and the tc1000 came with an extra tip (nib?)
so I'll try that before ordering a new pen-thanks again.
