I bought the HP Active Pen separately from my 2 in 1 laptop and it connected successfully via Bluetooth. The buttons work and bring up programs such as Windows Ink and OneNote but when it comes to writing or tapping with the pen, nothing happens. I've already tried calibrating the touch screen and sensitivity but still no luck. This is the exact product I bought: HP Active Stylus Digital Pen - T4Z24UT#ABA

Have you tried this pen on another computer?
