Update gen 1 Apple Pencil firmware

It will pair and show as connected, and the battery widget says it’s fully charged, but it doesn’t interact with my 2nd gen iPad Pro 12.9”. Does anyone know of a way to force a firmware update? My iPad is running iOS 17.2 and pencil running 1.0.4… HELP!


iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Yea my first gen pencil is having frequent disconnects with my 10th gen iPad . I have a similar problem where the pencil is charged and connected. I unpair my pencil and then repair and the pencil will work until I close the window I was drawing on. I have done a restart of my iPad and that didn't fix the issue. I changed the nib out as well. iPadOS is 16.7.1.
