New Apple Pencil 1 not giving pairing pop-up on iPad 9.7inch

Model A1822 iPad on iOS 13.3. Plugging the Pencil into the lightning port does not do anything. The iPad won't read the Pencil at all. Can't see it on Bluetooth either.

I have restarted the iPad multiple times and fully charged the iPad.

Is there something I'm missing?

Apple Pencil 1st Generation not Pairing with iPad 6th Generation I have a 6th generation iPad (A1893) that will not connect via Blutooth with a charged, 1st generation Apple Pencil (A1603). I am connecting the pencil to the Lightning port on the iPad when attempting to pair. It briefly connects (sometimes) for about 2 seconds then disconnects. Everything I have read suggests the pencil is compatible with my iPad. Am I mistaken? If it is compatible, what else can I try. I have forgotten the pencil under devices in Bluetooth and restarted the iPad several times. Thanks for any input.

Pencil not connecting I cannot get my Apple Pencil 2 to connect to my ipad. I have tried turning off sad on Bluetooth, restarting ipad, forgetting the pencil. But now I can’t get to pair again or even show up ads Bluetooth option. When I place it on the side, it shows up at the top. But it won’t connect.
