1st Gen Apple Pencil point slightly bent

I noticed the point on my Apple Pencil is no longer straight, and it is not working properly anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

Your Pencil is very likely irretrievably broken - requiring replacement of the Pencil.


If the inner (metal) transducer has been damaged, you will require a new Apple Pencil. If only the plastic tip is damaged, then replacing the tip may restore normal operation.


The transducer is a fragile component. If dropping the Pencil onto its tip has damaged the replaceable soft-plastic tip, or the tip is misaligned, it is very likely that the Pencil will now be broken. Other than the replaceable plastic tip, the Pencil has no serviceable parts.
