Apple pencil skipping on screen


So I recently got a repair on my ipad screen due to it getting smashed and ever since a section in the middle of the screen and to the top of the screen now wont allow my apple pencil to write/draw on it. Altho there has been glitches where it has drawn on small areas, most of the time I am unable to draw on it. This happens both in apps and on the home screen and although my finger can sometimes draw in that section of screen, the drawn part can sometimes glitch so the drawn line disappears mid drawing on that area. I have updated the ipad so its at its most recent software update, I have restarted the ipad, disconnected and reconnected the apple pencil and even cleaned the screen thoroughly as some people suggested it was dust causing the problem. The first photo is drawn with my pencil and the 2nd is drawn with my finger. Is there a way to fix this problem thanks.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Perhaps for trial run, especially with an older iPad, try & use

the 'sharpie' ink pencil ~ instead of apple's electronic one..

Since they seem to have fixed that problem of skipping.

..First choice for me: A non-powered Stylus..

It just Works!! 🌼🐝🌿💮


PS: an idea may involve return to point of repair, for

another attempt; 'initial fix' might have warranty?🎣
