Apple pencil stopped working

Have tried all of these suggestions. None of them worked.

Deleted and re-paired pencil twice.

Rebooted iPad

Pencil is fully charged

iPad is fully charged

Tip is screwed in tight (also unscrewed and re-screwed it back in. no change)

I had the exact same problem. Went to the Apple Store today and was told basically it is dead so I can get a refurb for $79 (3 month warranty) or a $99 new one (1 year warranty). Bought it in April 2016 and it was very lightly used. Not sure I'd buy another one. Some people have had luck with their Apple Stores giving them a replacement or good price cut on a new one even though they were outside their 1 year warranty period so you may as well get it checked by them (hopefully they can fix it) and see if they are willing to give you any kind of deal if they are not.

Happened to me a few days ago. I plugged it into the lightning port. Then, on the iPad, went to settings - Bluetooth. It showed the pencil but said it was Not Connected. I turned Bluetooth off, waited for a minute, and turned it back on. It then showed the pencil as connected and it is working again.

Having tried the various remedies noted here--re-pairing, charging, and ensuring the tip was screwed in, I tried putting in the reserve tip. This completely solved the problem. I've concluded the initial tip had some irregularity that was interfering with it seating properly--the line between the tip and the body was bigger (though almost imperceptibly) with the first one. I think this accounts for the intermittency of the problem in my case--sometimes the tip would make proper contact, sometimes not.

Have you tried simply connecting it into the lightning port to re-pair it over Bluetooth.

I believe this is how you are supposed to pair the Apple Pencil to the iPad Pro.

You got an Apple Pencil?

Lucky sonofa....

I Had the same problem after several days of use. For me it turned out that the tip of the pencil had unscrewed slightly. this caused it to never register a touch or any pressure. Try turning your tip so that it is fully screwed in. It fixed it for me.

Yes. That was exactly it. Just screw the tip on! Thanks for posting. Simple, but effective.

check to make sure the tip is not loose. That's all that was wrong with mine.

Actually this appears related to the Bluetooth pairing between Pencil and iPad. I had this issue as well, because I had been charging my pencil in my iPhone dock with the adapter. Eventually it lost it's pairing with the iPad for some yet unknown reason. Once I plugged the Pencil into the iPad to charge it, I noted the Bluetooth icon flash a few times and after that the pencil worked with iPad just fine. So while you can charge the Pencil externally, it's a good idea to charge it by the iPad once in a while to refresh the pairing.

Screw on the tip! Brilliant ! Perfect! Thanks so much. I was almost in a Panic. Worked like a charm.

Bring the Pencil into your "local" Apple Store to have them check it out.

Good Luck to You!

I found that by plugging it into the Lightning port for just a moment then it started working again.

Me too--re-paired, screwed in, charged. It worked for three days, then stopped.
