I dropped my Apple Pencil gen 1 and the tip broke off...left a small sleeve of the tip inside into. I used tweezers to remove the small piece with it incident. I then replaced the tip with the spare that came with the unit upon purchase. I am not getting any kind of response from the unit on my iPad, though it does recognize the pencil as normal.
please help...ty
iPad, iPadOS 14
If the tiny metal transducer beneath the plastic pencil tip has been damaged - the Pencil is irreparably broken and will not work. You’ll need to replace the Pencil.
The metal transducer is a critical part.

You’ve already provided all the evidence needed to make this diagnosis. ^^^
Makes sense. How do we know for sure?
Thanks guys 🙏
or rather, thank you @LotusPilot
My pencil says it’s paired to my iPad but the screen is not affected by the unit at all??
