Default Pen slipping out

Help it seems my pen hole has gotten rather slack and now any pens I put in slip out, not sure what to do (well out of warranty)

I've lost loads of pens now even though I've tried blu-tak (messy).

I wrapped one little wrap of clear masking tape on my stylus and it stay put now.

Harder to remove but thats the whole point isnt it.

Hi caleb2003,

I found a web-page with a description on how to repair this problem. I haven't tried, but if you want to give it a try, here it is: http://www.pdagold.com/articles/deta...?a=274&rfp=dta.

btw I give no warranty

Regards
