Since shipping back and forth to the US is an enormous hassle and there is no tech support in Europe for this device (am from the NL), I am curious as to how you fixed this? Could you just glue it back on?
Would appreciate any tips! |
I managed to tear off my pen loop too and fixed it.
The loop is in two parts. One is the loop itself and the other is the plastic clip that attaches the loop to the frame. If the loop and clip stay together when it detaches, you're in pretty good shape. All you have to do is push it straight back in.
If your luck is as bad as mine, the clip is still attached to the frame and just the loop has come off. To fix, you'll need to pull the clip out, glue it back on the loop and put the whole thing back in.
If your luck is really bad, the clip itself is broken and you're pretty much stuck with ordering a replacement.
If you can see a plastic tab sticking out of the machine, it can be fixed. Besides the plastic tab you can see, the clip has a C-shaped section that attaches to a thin metal rod inside the frame. Basically it's a cylinder with a section missing down its length. I pulled the clip out by grasping one end of the tab with a needle-nosed plier and easing out one corner of the clip until the whole clip came out.
Once it is out, a little super glue reattaches the clip and loop. Push it straight into to socket in the frame, and you are done. In the troubleshooting section of the manual there is a picture showing how to insert the loop back into the frame.
