Stylus falling out - Page 2

what i did to fix this problem was i had some fish tank sealant lying around. I used a paper clip and bent it out.. put a very small amount of the sealant n the clip and spead it around the inside of the stylus hole.. I let it dry for a couple h ours before i put the stylus in(THATS VERY IMPORTANT). There ya go stylus tighter and safer thent he day i bought it

This sounds silly, but did you mean to say that the stylus SHOULD extend when you pull it out? Mine never has.

BY FAR THE EASIEST FIX.... Worked for me....back in the day...."which was a Wednesday".

so i got a new 6800 and it stinks. My original was great, stylus was tight and perfect. Now it doesnt open when i pull it out. So i put a piece of paper b/w the batter and the little plug and bent the paper over the top to push down a little. works good, not as great, but good. shoulda never got a new one!
