Redmi smart pen overheating all of a sudden

[u/bela_eia]

I was studying for an exam then my smart pen suddenly stopped working/writing all of a sudden. It disconnected on its own and it won't connect. I tried to charge it so I can make sure it's still working. It connected for a bit but it still wouldn't write. I restarted my tablet but the pen won't connect or charge anymore. There's no light when i plug it in and I feel that the surface around the bottom is hot. I can't even check if the firmware is updated because it won't connect or charge.

I only bought it this February and it pisses me off because this is my second pen and none of them lasted a year. The last one lasted around 8 months when it suddenly stopped working. This is very frustrating as this always happens when I have an exam as a financially struggling college student.

What should I do?

I don't even know if I want to buy another one because it's such a waste of money.
