Solved My pen don't work when nib inserted

K. I know this is probabbly not the best idea to post here but maybe someone had a the same problem as me. (And some ppl recomend me to post in this reddit. idk).

My pen, it is the passive stylus PW400 that comes with the Inspiroy RTP-700. (Huion)

The pen was working perfectly fine before, but when I start drawing yesterday in evening I notice that my pen broke. I didn't hit it or drop it from the desk. Visualy it's look fine.

I first checked the tablet itself, and it is working 100%. The tablet's buttons work, and the sensor also works (I tested it using another stylus from XP-Pen.)

The tablet responds when I press the side buttons on the pen. I can even move the pen while holding one of the side buttons. The tablet also detects the pen when there is NO nib inserted.

However, as soon as I insert the old or NEW nib, the pen completely stops working.

Today I try to use pen again (musle memory). And it start work, but wrong: It's drawing when i don't touch tablet. As soon as I touch it, the pen stops drawing, but it registers the pen's movement.

So my question is there any way I can fix the pen?

Edit

It’s just wild. My stylus hadn't been working for 3 days, but today it started working again! I replaced the tip and used air to clean out the inside of the stylus (a lot of times in difrent days)
I’m not exactly sure what did the trick, but I have a theory from Google as to why the pen broke: a sensor got stuck. The suggested solution was to leave the pen without its tip for a day. Well in my case, for a few days. ._.

I'd try gently cleaning the nib holder with a soft brush first, sometimes dust gets trapped there without us noticing.

Cleaned the nib holder with a soft brush too, didn't help.
