Pen not functioning

[phillip8]

My tilt pen was working fine and now it won't write or erase. The bluetooth button works fine. The indicator light blinks orange light about 2 seconds after pressing the button. The indicator will flash between orange and yellow when I hold the button, then stays orange until i release the button and it turns blue because the bluetooth is then on. Also, when I hold both the side button and the top button, the light turns red and stays red until I plug a charger into it. And yes, it is fully charged. Why is this thing suddenly being jank? I'll probably order a new pen today or tomorrow, likely not this one because the eraser never worked quite right.
