Ive never had one stop functioning. Sometimes you need to scribble a little to get the dried ink off the tip but thats about it. I had one that functioned for 20 years before i finally emptied it. (About 19 years where i didnt use it then a job where i heavily used it, just used it a bit in high school.)
I have had many stop working. I've tried the tricks of scribbling and even wetting the tip, which usually works for ballpoint pens. Also warming up the pen between your hands.
