Pencil does not seem to pair with new iPad Pro

Pencil shows up on the screen when attached to the iPad but does not seem to be functional. Is there some other technique to force the pairing?

I figured it out… In the Bluetooth Settings I saw an unknown device… I took a guess that it was the pencil and tried connecting to it. Once I did that the unknown device turned into the word pencil so I am all set. I guess I was a little thrown off because it said it would automatically pair which I did not. I have the latest iPad Pro large version.

Hello,

If Apple Pencil’s battery sits depleted for an extended amount of time then it will essentially ruin the battery preventing it from ever holding a charge which makes the Apple Pencil useless. Apple Pencil has a 1 year warranty (when purchased from Apple) which means that Apple will most likely replace it if the battery has failed.

Please refer to the following Apple Support document on how to troubleshoot Apple Pencil.

Which model iPad Pro and Pencil?

And when was the last time you charged up and used your Apple Pencil with this iPad?
