Wacom Intuos Pro Touch Pad Replacement

Introdução

If your Wacom Intuos Pro touch pad is damaged, the device will not be able to fully detect pen inputs and pressure. If this occurs, you may experience dead zones or zones where your touchpad may not detect pen pressure accurately. If troubleshooting your device does not work, you may need to replace the touch pad sensor. Replacing the sensor can remove dead zones and improve pressure accuracy.

! - Be sure to exercise caution when lifting the touch pad out of the case. Incorrectly removing the touch pad may damage the sensors or other components.
