S Pen on Tab S6 not connecting

[rlm]

I've just noticed that the S Pen on my Tab S6 is disconnected from the tablet and will not reconnect, whatever I do.

I guess that this has happened because the S Pen battery has completely discharged somehow.

To check this I bought another S Pen (at great expense!) and that connects, charges, and works fine.

Does anyone know how to kick-start the S Pen battery? (Before you say it, Reset doesn't work because the tablet has to connect to the Pen first...)

Thanks.

Leave it connected to the tablet overnight and see if it charges it up

Thanks for the tip, but I did try that with no success. The problem seems to be that it needs to connect first, but that times out and makes no attempt to charge it.
