If your pen is blinking 10 times and not functioning, it's often a sign of a dead battery or a connection issue between the battery and the cartridge. First, try recharging your pen fully. If it still blinks, check the cartridge connection; ensure it's clean and not overly tightened. Sometimes, gently cleaning the battery contacts and the cartridge base with rubbing alcohol can resolve this issue. If the problem persists, it might be a hardware failure, requiring professional repair or replacement.
