Reviving a broken pen: Start by dipping the tip in warm water to dissolve any dried ink. Shake vigorously or scribble on scrap paper to restart ink flow. If it’s still not working, disassemble the pen, soak the nib and feed in water, and reassemble once dry. Using rubbing alcohol can also help dissolve blockage. For ballpoint pens, try rubbing on rough surfaces. Always store pens tip-down to maintain ink flow.
