Sony Vaio Duo 11 digitizer pen issues

[ioannis1971]

Hi, I have a Duo 11 and a) my digitizer pen doesnt register at all any clicks of,the buttons and b) to use it I have to press it hard in order to write down or click something. A week ago it used to be more sensitive. Now I get tired by the pressure I put to write with the pen. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Assist but there are no pen and touch drivers anywhere - including the support site.

Any ideas?

hi there,

did you put in a new battery? may it was depleted fast if accidentally a button

was kept pressed for a long time.(lets say during storage)

do NOT press hard on screen,you will definetely damge it through time.

Do you have friend, or a Sony Center near you? i would suggest to try stylus

in another vaio to see if it is working on that one,and thus exclude

computer malfunction.

post your results.

Good luck.

ok I feel like a complete idiot. Changing the battery was something that I didn't think of since I had hardly used the pen and the laptop is 5 months old.

Thanks for the tip! I changed the battery and is working fine now (although in the meantime I have ordered another pen in case the original one was malfunctioning).. Now I have 2!

Thanks Stavros.

John

Have you tried this driver from NTrig? http://www.n-trig.com/files/Win8_Driver_x64_v2.zip

I'm yet to try with photoshop, but it installed okay and doesn't conflict with the existing driver
