If the fragile metal transducer beneath the plastic tip is distorted or damaged, the Pencil will very likely require replacement. Repair of an Apple Pencil is not possible.


If your Pencil is within its one year warranty, it may be worthwhile asking for help at an Apple Store - but be aware that accidental damage is not covered by the limited warranty. However, if your iPad has AppleCare+ cover, then accidental damage of the Pencil may be covered.

Try it:

IDK. Try out the tapping, and find out if it works. Don't use pressure to get it to work. If it does not tap, then it will not work. It may be time for a new Apple Pencil. Get one Here:
