laptop - asus transformer book t100 chi
stylus - ls04-a09 ntrig stylus (from my old toshiba laptop) - it's 'active' i think and uses batteries - it works fine on my toshiba laptop

my new asus laptop doesn't sense my stylus at all - it senses my finger - but not the stylus

also, my stylus works on the toshiba laptop

Sounds as if it has a software driver issue.

Try Googling about similar issues.

If you're on Windows: You should be able to utilize the Device Manager to find out (if any) what drivers are missing.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OPEN THE DEVICE MANAGER:
  1. Windows key + R
  2. devmgmt.msc
  3. Click OK


INSTRUCTIONS TO SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES:
  1. Click on View
  2. Click on Show hidden devices
  3. Right click on your computer's name (top of the list)
  4. Click on Scan for hardware changes


Now all that's left to do is to search for 'unknown devices.'
If you see none: Then the operating system doesn't know of any hardware that it doesn't know anything of.

It's possible that a 'generic driver' was installed for whatever and it won't show up as 'unknown.'

Possible tabs to browse over would be:
  • Human Interface Devices
  • Keyboards
  • Mice and other pointing devices
  • Universal serial bus controllers
  • System devices


Hopefully this yields some interesting results.

If nothing else: You can at least try using Snappy Driver Installer; a completely free, open source project that searches DriverPack and it's own reservoir for known drivers.
It's very simple, small and contains no ads or anything else. No special permissions required (it should install under a normal User account).

Installation of drivers probably[/B] requires administrative permissions though.

I'm glad I could help, Regargar! :)

I don't know anything about "styluses" unfortunately... You could use Google to do some more research on that topic though!
