The Pencil battery may be flat (or perhaps dead). Try leaving your Pencil plugged-in to your iPad for some time to see if the battery recovers.


If the battery is completely dead (as frequently occurs if the Pencil is left for a long period without being recharged), then the only remedy will be replacement of the Pencil. Unfortunately, other than the pencil-tip, no other components or the battery are replaceable.
