After broken my stylus for 4 times & buying a stylus is quite expensive in my country, this is my way of joining the stylus. No issue of worry of dropping this stylus anymore.

Sorry...The photo below not so sharp as I used the O2 to take the photos.

1. Things required:-
a. two needles
b. pair of pliers
c. Fast bonding adhesive /glue

My way of joining the broken stylus

2. Heat the needle until it is glowing red & pokes the in needle at end of the broken stylus as photo below. Try to poke the needle as deep as possible, the deeper the better. But 1cm will do.

3. Make sure needle is strongly stick to the stylus. -------------4. Cut the needle between ½ to 1 cm.

5. The other broken part of the stylus (the black plastic one).------------6. Make a hole to the plastic part of the broken stylus

You could always try and find a metal stylus but still a good tutorial. You should put [Tutorial] Before the thread name so people dont think you're asking a question.

I experienced "broken stylus" before also, and I only join the 'metal part' and 'plastic part' by using the 'fast dry glue', until now still using it :):)

Anyway, your tutorial was not bad huh!! Thanks for your tutorial!!:)
