I have an iPad mini 5th generation, model #A2133; it won't pair my 1st generation apple pencil. What can I do to fix it, if it can be fixed?

Make sure the tip of the Pencil is screwed on securely and snugly ( NOT TOO tight! ).

Then follow all of the troubleshooting tips in this Apple Website Webpage support article.

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may now be irretrievably damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.
