FIX: Surface pen not working with Surface Pro 4
1. Surface Pen won’t ink
If the Surface Pen won’t ink, make sure to test the LED functionality, if it doesn’t come on, then the problem is a power issue. Another thing you can do is to run Windows Updates or the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit. Making sure that the battery is charged and working is another thing you’ll have to check as well.
2. Surface Pen light blinks red or won’t turn on
This means your AAAA battery is low and needs replacement. To replace it, do this:
For Surface pen with no clip, pull the top end out from the bottom, replace the battery and push the parts of the pen back together For Surface pen with a single long button, turn the cap or the end of the eraser in a counter-clockwise manner to the body until it clicks. Pull the cap from the body and replace the AAAA battery with the negative end pointing toward the writing tip. Replace the cap by lining up the metal guide bump on the cap with the half-circle cutaway on the body, and slide the cap back into its place. Turn it a little to align the flat edges. For Surface Pen with two buttons on the side: unscrew the top of the pen from the bottom, replace the battery with the positive end pointing toward the tip, then screw the top back on
4. Buttons don’t work/writing is inaccurate or jagged
5. Surface Pen isn’t connected with Surface Pro 4
6. Surface Pen won’t pair with Surface Pro 4 or open apps
