Apple Pencil Not Working

[shopper150]

My Apple Pencil (version 1) has stopped working. It’s not being detected via Bluetooth or when I plug it in.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this might be resolved? I just want to eliminate other possibilities before concluding that the Pencil is dead!

Restarted your device? (Ipad or whatever)

Yes. I’ve also updated the iOS software on the iPad

I had this exact same problem - Had it 18 months and it just wouldn't come on or do anything. I took it to the Apple store to be told that "it's out of warranty, but they'd have a look and see what they can see".

They plugged it in to one of their iPad minis and **presto** it started working and is still working now...

Have you got another iPad you can try plugging it in to?
