If your Apple Pencil stops working when you touch the tip, it likely indicates a hardware issue. Unscrew the tip and screw it back in firmly. A loose or damaged tip can cause erratic behavior. If the tip looks worn out or cracked, replace it with a new one (included in the original box or available separately). Test it on another compatible iPad, if available.
