iPad Pro dead zone when using Apple Pencil 2

I've had my iPad 11in Pro 2nd Generation for over a year and a half. I now have a dead zone on the iPad when using the pencil. It's a vertical narrow strip when in landscape and in one particular area of the screen only. It's not a problem when using my finger so it has to be the pencil digitiser.

I've reset, checked the nib of the pencil, de-paired the pencil, laid the iPad flat with no case, removed any power etc and no luck.

Is there a solution to this or am I looking at a screen replacement?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

You might be best advised to seek assistance from the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess and conduct “hands-on” testing of your iPad:

Alternatively, although less useful from the perspective of testing, you can contact the Apple Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. You can also initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

I'm in Ireland even though Apple have a huge operation here, there are no Apple stores! I'll have to see if any of the authorised resellers can help like CompuB.

It seems to be a strange fault that many other users have also had. It shouldn't happen surely in a device this expensive.
