How Do You Disassemble a Cintiq Stylus? My pen is broke 2016-10-15 00:05:10 Post No. 2714398 [Report]

My fucking pen decided to stop working. Basically the front button is permanently depressed which I had set to Alt so now it's like the alt button is always being pressed. I could just turn the button off but I use that button like a used up hooker and it will kill my workflow to not have access to it.

My problem is that I can't figure out for the life of me how to get access to the circuitry inside the pen. I guess you have to pull apart both sides of the plastic shell (they seem to be stuck together at the center where the black part is) but I've pulled with all my might and they seem to be either glued or locked together somehow. I can twist it back and forth about 2 milimetres both directions but that's it, so it seems to be locked rather than glued.

I have so much work to do HALP

Intous 5 pen just pulls apart. It sits REALLY tight with no glue. You have to be careful to pull along axis to not snap the board.
Pulled mine apart, got it together, no problems.

How did you get it open?? I've literally pulled on this stupid thing as hard as I can, all I can do is twist it back and forth a few millimetres.

Just pulled it really hard, while slightly twisting it.

My pen isn't the same one as that though. I've heard a number of people say they just twist and pull and it's tough but it works but the pen they always show is the one you have there and not the one I have. Mine must just be different. There's no way it's coming apart without breaking. I'm just going to order a new one

I realize it is different, that's why I stated that I'm talking about Intous 5 pen. I assume they are the same inside, but it's up to you to do the research.
Anyway, since you said you can twisted, it's not glued. But if you aren't willing to risk it, wait until your new one arrives.
