my Apple Pencil is second generation Pencil. It’s connected to my iPad and charging. I can’t get it to write, i replaced the tip and everything and still isn’t working. I even turned off my iPad and disconnected my Pencil from the iPad. Here is how the inside of my Pencil looks like, it’s not broken but the gold coat seems to have rubbed off, is this fixable or not ?
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
Ensure that the user-replaceable Pencil tip is snugly screwed into position; when fitted correctly you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body. If slightly loosened, or overtightened, the Pencil may not work properly, if at all.
