Error Codes
Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Worn-out active areas and broken connection cables are common on non-screen tablets. For pen displays, dead pixels or port failures occur over time.
Maintenance
View all →Clean Active Area
Oils from your resting hand transfer to the tablet surface, creating slick spots that alter pen friction and cause skips. Keep the surface clean.
Replace Stylus Nibs
Pen nibs wear down flat or sharp from friction. A worn nib will severely scratch the drawing surface of the tablet, ruining its texture and functionality.
Update Device Drivers
Operating system updates frequently break graphics tablet compatibility, leading to lost pen pressure or erratic cursor movement. Keep drivers up to date.
