Pen not writing? Free trick to fix it!

Method 1: Use heat

Heat the tip of the pen with a lighter or match for a few seconds.
Don’t overheat: Keep the flame moving to avoid damaging the plastic.
Try writing again. Heat improves the fluidity of the ink.

Method 2: Use friction

Wrap a rubber band around the body of the pen.
Quickly rotate the pen in circles for a few seconds.
This creates friction, unlocking dried ink and allowing it to flow.

Method 3: Soak in hot water

Fill a bowl with hot water (40-50°C).
Soak the tip of the pen for 5 minutes.
Remove, dry with a napkin, and try writing. This method softens dried ink.

Method 4: Lubricate with oil

Place a drop of light oil on the tip of the pen.
Leave it on for 1-2 minutes.
Wipe off any excess oil before using the pen.

Method 5: Use a napkin

Draw lines on a napkin several times with the tip of the pen.
Friction removes residue or dried ink, improving writing.
