@saamaj, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding HP Tilt Pen Connection Issues!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
If your HP Tilt Pen is charging but not working, follow these steps to troubleshoot and reconnect it to your laptop:
1. Ensure the Pen is Properly Charged
Make sure that your HP Tilt Pen is fully charged before attempting to reconnect it. The following LED indicators will help you know the charging status:
- Blinking amber: Battery is low.
- Static amber: Pen is charging.
- Off: Pen is fully charged.
2. Verify the Charging Position
Ensure you are placing the pen in the correct magnetic pen attachment and charger area, usually located over the two microphones of the HP Spectre Foldable PC.
3. Check Bluetooth Settings
- Turn on your pen by pressing and holding the top button for 3-5 seconds until the light starts blinking, indicating pairing mode.
- On your laptop, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
- Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, and click Add Bluetooth or other device.
- Select Bluetooth and wait for the HP Tilt Pen to appear in the list of discoverable devices.
- Click on the HP Tilt Pen to pair it with your laptop. Follow any additional on-screen instructions.
4. Update Drivers and Software
Ensure that your laptop has the latest drivers and firmware. Visit HP Support - Software and Driver Downloads to download and install the necessary updates for your specific laptop model.
5. Check for Pen Functionality
- Test the pen input on various applications like Microsoft OneNote or Paint to see if it responds.
- If using an application that leverages the pressure sensitivity feature, check if the pen features are enabled and properly configured.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
