Apple pencil cannot charge and recognize in my ipad pro

If your Apple Pencil won't pair with your iPad

1. Make sure to center your Apple Pencil on the magnetic connector on the right edge of the iPad.
2. Restart your iPad, then try to pair again.
3. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
4. On the same screen, look under My Devices for your Apple Pencil. If you see it, tap . Then tap Forget this Device.
5. Connect your Apple Pencil in to your iPad and tap the Pair button when it appears after a few seconds.
6. If you don't see the Pair button, wait for one minute while your Apple Pencil charges. Then try connecting your Apple Pencil again and wait until you see the Pair button.
7. If you still don’t see the Pair button, contact Apple Support.

Try charging the Pencil longer, like a couple of hours.

The battery may have been flat ( 0% charged ) or close for too long.

If no joy after charging for 2-3 hours, your Apple Pencil battery has failed and your Apple Pencil is dead.

If your Apple Pencil sat around unused and not kept charged up for more than a few weeks, or so, OR LONGER, then the battery in your Apple Pencil may have failed and is dead and you will have to purchase another brand new Apple Pencil.

Sorry.

FYI and something Apple never divulges to it potential iPad Pro/Apple Pencil customers/users unless the potential customer/user is smart enough to ask about.

Due to the “always on and active/standby” nature of the Apple Pencil and, also, due to its very tiny rechargeable Li-ion battery (smaller than the eraser head on a REAL wooden pencil), the Apple Pencil needs to be constantly charged up to some significant charge level ALL THE TIME, even when not using the Pencil for prolonged periods of time.

The Apple Pencil needs to be kept charged to a minimum of 5-10% all the time.

If the Apple Pencil battery is allowed to drain down to 0% and allowed to stay in that flat condition for more than a few weeks, or so, OR EVEN LONGER, that very tiny little Li-ion battery is too small to keep at a 0% state for a long period of time and it will fail and the Apple Pencil will be dead and you may have to “pop” for another $99 Apple Pencil, once again!

Thank you. That seems to be the case and if Apple Pencil has this kind of issues, then quality is definitly below what you would expect from Apple. The least I would expect is for Apple to replace it without no cost.

Just had the same problem. I realized that after turning the iPad on and off nothing worked, then I noticed that the tip of the pencil was becoming unscrewed. Make sure your tip is screwed on properly, seems that the tip is not very stable.

If that Pencil is still under its original one year warranty, Apple would replace it for free.

If its out of warranty, then the replacement and costs are the burden of customer/consumer/user.

I have the same exact problem. Any progress on the solution?
