Pens often stop working even when they still have ink due to issues such as dried ink at the tip, trapped air bubbles, or a clog in the ink reservoir. To fix a non-working pen, try scribbling on a piece of paper to get the ink flowing again, or gently tap the pen tip on a hard surface. For ballpoint pens, running hot water over the tip can help remove clogs. Regular usage can prevent ink from drying out.
