This is indeed a day to slash my wrists...=( My graphire pen broke after being dropped too many times..(clumsy me) I really need a new one, anyone have some advice? Hopefully someone knows where to get one in sweden, but anything will go for now.. I checked out wacomdirect, but I don't know if they ship to sweden.. Sux being all inspired and ready to paint and it just doesn't react and I hear tiiiny little parts rumbling around inside it.. Please help!!

You could try taking it apart and putting it back together again--you might be able to see what's broken off and tape it back on. I had the pen of my old Graphire held together with nothing but faith and masking tape for months before I finally got off my lazy bum and bought a new tablet.

Yeah, I tried that, but I can't get the circuit board out of the plastic shell.. it's stuck in some way.. the eraser works though.. I don't know what to do. I'm looking around for retailers of only the pen but they only send packages.. damn

i know that CJ Graphics in the UK supply pens for Wacom Tablets, i've had to replace one myself, set me back 60pounds

thanks bob, I found one for $33.95 on CDW.com, i'll go for that if it works..
Anyway since it is a graphire I supposedly won't pay more than a tablet itself would cost in sweden.. I'll try to fix the broken one first..=(

thanks for your replies!!

alien: yeah, been there, checked dat.. At least it's in their list of products, only they don't have it in stock right now.
There is an art-material dealer in Stockholm that is called matton(www.matton.se), really nice in fact, and i'll check with them since they are a main retailer of wacom products.(right spelling?) Thanks a lot anyway!!

(btw-40 bucks or equivalent isn't such a bad affair or what do you think? ok I know the intuous pen is like 80$ but I only want an ordinary graphire pen.. worked fine for me 'til it broke.)

Thanks a lot guys n' gals! I'll just hold out a little longer. Maybe just doing what I really need to do-sketch, sketch, figure drawing, and a little more sketching. With ye olde paper and pencil, that is.

take care /m
