2nd generation Apple Pencil issue

Hi All! Yesterday my Apple pencil stopped working. It doesnt showing up in the Bluetooth devices menu. Did anyone have similar issue? I have attached a screenshot of the Bluetooth menu iPad is recognizing the pencil but it’s not listed in the Bluetooth menu and I can’t select it to pair or connect.

iPad Air, iPadOS 14

Prior to this issue, when was the last time your Apple Pencil was charged up and used with your iPad?

Try the new hard reset procedure for the 2018/2020 iPad Pro/iPad Aor 4 models without a Home button.

1. Press and release the volume UP button.

2. Then immediately press and release the volume DOWN button.

3. Then, press and hold the Power button at the top. You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the Power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.


Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your iPad Pro will boot up completely to the iPad Pro’s Lock screen.
