Apple Pencil Won't Write

I got a iPad Air 5 and a 2nd generation apple pencil today. The Apple Pencil connected and worked for a while. I updated the iPad to iPadOS 16.5 and used the pencil still without any problems and suddenly it stopped writing.


I tried everything I can find on the internet but it didn't worked. The pencil shows itself connected and charged and the double tap seems to work too. But it make no response when touched with the display.


I tried restarting the iPad, forgetting and reconnecting the pencil, unscrewing and screwing the tip. Please tell me if they're are anything I can do to fix this.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Ensure that the user-replaceable Pencil tip is snugly screwed into position; when fitted correctly you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body. If slightly loosened, or overtightened, the Pencil may not work properly, if at all.


If you need assistance, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be able to test and assess your iPad and Pencil:
