Replacement pen tip for surface pen does not fit.

Question

I purchased the surface pen tip replacements because mine has broken. I had to pull out the pen tip and even now when I try to put the new one in, it does not fit. The replacements do not fit. How can I make it fit?

Hi Ashley Vivas1,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community.

Please check first if there are some debris or parts of the broken pen tip that are left inside the pen that could be blocking the new tip to be fully seated. It seems that some of the black parts of the old tip are left. Please see this page for more details: Replace Surface Pen tips (microsoft.com).
