Don't Buy Stylus From InnoPocket

[eone]

Hi,

I am using 3-in-1 innopocket stylus with my NX70 for some time now. Today, the top of the stylus come off and the worst thing is it is caught inside my unit. Now I cannot get it out, anybody out there can help.

Thanks

There is some past threads on this.Your not the first one and I think it was solved with using some kind of hook.

I cannot find the thread, can you describe to me about this hook.

Umm well I bought the Mat Chrome and Chrome 2-set from Innopocket and I could not be happier with the quality. Sorry for your misfortunes with the 3in1. I do remember a thread to remedy that though...can't remember where.

I couldn't find it either, I scanned 383 threads to no avail.

I think somehow they used a needle to get it out.

Are you still able to see it? If so, with the palm of your left hand facing up, hold your Clie with your right and lightly bring your Clie down and hit the heel of your left hand with the connector end. Make sure you have a good grip on your Clie. It should drop out of the silo. Unless, it was really forced up into the silo, then I have no idea.

fireman54,

I was tempted to suggest that, but then I decided aganst it. If his Clie goes a flying, I didn't want to blamed :D!

Good idea

What about a long screw?
Also the old thread may have been lost when they got hacked a few months back.

Hopefully, the words lightly and good grip sunk in. :D

IIRC, someone had the same exact problem before the BIG PURGE on Black Monday.

Take apart a bic ballpoint pen, used the rear of the plastic ink refill and insert it into your stylus silo. The diameter of the refill should just fit over the stuck tip of your stylus and you should be able to extract it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I manage to get it out, now looking for a better stylus. Any suggestion?

You know I have these InnoPocket stylus for over 3 months now and have had zero problems.
I do though make sure that when I insert the stylus cap is not loose.
But this can happen with any stylus if the cap is not tightly secure.

I had the same problem. The plastic cap of the ballpoint side came off and the stylus got stuck in the slot. I managed to get it out by putting the cap on again (while the rest of the stylus stuck in the slot). This way it snapped on again and I managed to get the stylus out easily.
Looking back, my mistake was that I did not put the cap on frimly enough. So it came of when I tried to pull the stylus out.
I think this is the weak point of that stylus. But I still use it, because it is the only one I know, that has an integrated ballpoint.
