I also have the CTE-450, and had the exact same problem (broken black thingy.) I went with the soldering, which worked beautifully. The trick with the CTE-450 is that the little gray part above the buttons is holding it together, so you have to pry it off first (which I didn’t know, so I ended up breaking a little peice off with a knife).

Thanks so much for these instructions!

Trying out this fix-it now. Took about 20mins to take off the pen body parts apart. No broken black iron or internal wires, thankfully, but I need to get something off that is stuck inside the pen tip chamber. Wish me luck with putting it all back together and making it work. Cheers – /K

Hey Wolfie! I have the same tablet as u. I had the same problem getting the end piece off as well. I finally got it off with a pair of pliers. it takes a while but i got it open after a few minutes. But rap the pen up with a shirt because it will scratch the crap out of the pen.

P.s thanks for the Blog Abiyasa! I don’t think i would have tried to fix my pen if I hadn’t found it.
