Please Help!! Stylus not locking

---

Hello,

I bought the XDA IIs from a friend of mine in the U.K a month ago.

Everything works fine except that the STYLUS DOES NOT LOCK on to the groove provided behind the phone.

No matter how hard I push in it just would lock!!!

It was locking fine just an hour ago!!

After I charged the XDA IIs through a hotsync cable this problem seems to have arised.

Is there anything I can do at home to rectify the problem.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

P.S - I have tried with a new pair of styli though and even they wouldn't lock in.!!!

Could be VERY "handy" to have more "finger-optimized" options on the screen... I now really find the "stick" a ver slowww "extra". :roll:

what i did is open the back housing, put rubber sticker inside the place where stylus stay. now is tighter than before.

Hello

same problem, but realy easy to fix.

You have to use insulating tape (sorry, i don't know if this is the correct english name. This tape is used for insulating two elettrical wires connected togheter.)

So, you have to cut about 4mm x 1.5cm of this tape and then you have to turn around it on the top of your stylus.

This will produce a little gain of soft thickness right in the place where the stylus is in contact with your PDA.

My stylus slot was broken about one year ago: i used this insulating tape, and i have never lost my stylus.

follow some pictures... i have used white insulating tape in order to produce cleat photos: of course, you have to use black tape, as you can see in the last picture

Please try this link posted in wiki. This has details of how to fix a loose stylus.
