Apple pencil Gen1 can’t work

My apple pencil gen1 suddenly can’t work while I was writting. Bluetooth setting still show that connected. I tried to forget this device and re-pair my pencil many time but still the same. It can’t do anything. So, is it damaged???

Make sure the tip of the Pencil is screwed on securely and snugly ( NOT TOO tight! ).

Then follow all of the troubleshooting tips in this Apple Website Webpage support article.

Also, have you checked the tip of your Pencil lately?

Does it look worn? On the tip, can you see though it, somewhat, and see the metal sensor/transducer tube through the Pencil tip?

Apple has a 4 pack of replacement tips for purchase.

Found here.
