TabletsSomehow my S pen has become disconnected from the Tablet 8+. It can still write and other functions except for the air actions. I've tried to reconnect it a bunch of times, but nothing has worked. Would there be other actions I can try?

TabletsHello ShotRock, we are so sorry to hear about the S-pen becoming disconnected from your tablet and would love to assist you with getting this resolved. To start we would like to gather additional information to be as efficient as possible.
- Have you recently changed the case of your tablet?
We recommend before using your S Pen, make ensure you have removed any magnetic accessories such as a magnetic case or metallic cover as this can affect connectivity.
- Have you tried resetting the S-pen?
We advise accessing the Settings> selecting Advanced features and tap S Pen >Tap Air actions and tap the More options icon> Select Reset S Pen. Once the S Pen has been reset, you may experience a brief delay as it finishes reconnecting to your device.
***we also have this great article https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10003505/ that can provide even more resourceful tips and information regarding the connection of the S Pen.

TabletsOey. Considering what all I have on the tablet, I'd settle for a new pen. But as far as the link you sent, it only goes down to the S9 variants. I have an S8+. Will it still work?
