The light on my intuos4 brightens when I push the pen's side button & when pressure is applied to the tablet with the pen. Why doesn't the pen work?

Be sure that the driver for the intuous4 is installed, and that the computer can find a supported tablet on the system. If not go to wacom.com, download the latest driver, install it. Also I find that I often have to go to the services directory, open the "standard" frame, scroll down to Wacom Professional Service and restart it. For some reason when Photoshop loads, the pen pressure sensitivity etc. still doesn't work until I do the Services thing. You can see next to brush palette a triangle with a ! in it meaning it is not functioning properly.

That happened to me recently (on a Mac) for the first time; never had that problem before. The Wacom mouse didn't work either. I couldn't fix the problem in software. Eventually I just unplugged the tablet's cable from my USB hub (without turning off the tablet) and then plugged it right back in again. Fixed the problem immediately.

Once the stylus touches the screen it starts to work. You don't have to push hard, works when I hold the pen lightly. If you have a screen protector you can write or push as hard as you need to just like when your writing on paper. Hope I answered your question.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014:Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

Have you installed the necessary software? Also check your settings for the tablet to make sure it is enabled, and in general. Or possibly your pen might not be compatible with the version of the graphics tablet. Generally a Wacom pen needs to be used with a Wacom tablet. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the delay, Graeme. It's been a busy few days around here. No - there is NO clicking when I write with my pen - I just double-checked, using Bamboo paper in journal mode. Contact Wacom - they can help you, or replace your pen

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

I can't say from experience, but the way the tablet picks up signals from the pen shouldn't make too much difference between Wacom pens. Wacom also has pretty awesome customer service, so I'd try to buy from them instead of a third party so you can exchangr it in case it doesn't work.

Dont forget any aftermarket fix is never the same as factory tuned. Did you made sure the digitizer and the glass is properly glued together? Sometimes if the job is done improperly it can create a gap so try to make sure everything is set up properly first. Your pen is also much more sensitive tool as it fires magnetic pulses when touched with the screen. Long story short these pulses might activate the screen response while your hand might no longer be able to set it off

As long your pen tip is close to the tablet your tablet will ignore other stimuli so it should be fine, but there is an option to disable touch sensitivity if you want to. It's what I did, I would too often lift my pen while drawing and accidentally make marks with my hand and it got annoying.

I use this pen and, though I'm not sure exactly what tablet you're talking about, I used this driver to make everything work (it didn't before installing, though): http://www.wacom.com/shared/downloads/drivers/isd-dualtouch-driver

When I turn mine one there is no light. It only has a light on when it's charging. I never saw change color. Try pairing it. If it doesn't come up for pairing on your device then you got a bad one.

No. Intuos pens only work with their Intuos tablets. I think this pen will work with the Intuos4/5, but that's an unusual case since each pen usually only works with a certain version. The pressure levels are also double on the Intuos products. They're not compatible.

The intuos 3 classic will not work on an intuos 4 tablet. I do have one of these pens because I can use it on most Cintiq surfaces. The one you want is the Wacom intuos 4 pen. It's black. I'm seeing prices on amazon from $84 to $123. If she also uses a Cintiq at school or work make sure she gets the intuos4/cintiq21. Don't get the intuos 4 classic.

I have had trouble with the pen working. It sometimes works. If someone could give me some helpful tips on working for more than 3-5 minutes of recording it would be greatly appreciated.

Light only activates with the pressure switch when you press the pressure pad.

This stylus will only work with Intuos3 tablets or Cintiqs. It won't work with Bamboo or Intuos4 tablets.

Make sure you have the 2 parts of the pen tightly pressed together. If they are, the battery shouldn't move to lose contact. But then again, it is a bit like a flashlight and if you drop a flashlight a couple of times it won't work all the time either. :-)
