Hello all, I'm a first generation iPad user. Just joining to get some assistance on how to fix my stylus.
Thank you skimonkey. I did go to the accessories section after my first post. And I wasn't able to find anything that helped. The film has worn off the tip and I was looking to see of there were any suggestings to fix it as I don't want to have to buy a new one. They're not cheap. The one post that I found was asking the same question, but there was no response.
skimonkey said:Hey Pattie, gosh not sure how to replace the rubber nib on a stylus. Is this a special stylus that maybe under warranty?
I thought I saw some styluses that were reasonably priced, so maybe have another look. I hope that others may be able to chime in with their thoughts.
