Hi @ssatpute,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding stylus issues!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
If your stylus pen is not working on an HP Chromebook x2 after it has been idle for a long time, this could be due to low battery or an outdated Chrome operating system. Here are the steps to resolve these issues:
Check and Recharge the Battery
Attach the Pen to the Charging Location: Ensure that the stylus is attached to the designated charging area on the tablet.
Check Battery Status: Select the pen icon displayed in the Windows taskbar to confirm charging. Look for the battery icon with a lightning bolt indicating it is charging.
Charge Fully: Ensure the stylus pen is charged for at least 30 minutes.
Update Chrome OS
If the stylus pen stops working due to idle display settings:
- Update Chromebook: Ensure your Chromebook's operating system is updated to version M93 or later. Follow these steps:
- Turn on your Chromebook and connect it to a wireless network.
- At the bottom-right corner, select the time and then select Settings.
- In the settings menu, at the bottom of the left panel, select About Chrome OS. Under Google Chrome OS, find your version.
- Click Check for updates. If available, the update will download automatically.
I hope this helps.
