As described, I don’t foresee any difficulties with getting your Pencil replaced. If it fails within this period (and you have proof of purchase) and is otherwise undamaged, Apple generally replace the Pencil without quibble. The Apple Pencil has a one year warranty.

Your 2018 iPad Pro with second generation Pencil is similar in fault finding, but there are minor differences.įor the second generation Pencil, you will only see one entry in Settings > About - not two as previously described the single entry represents the Bluetooth connection - second entry represents the physical connection/interface, this being absent with Pencil2 and your iPad Pro. In absence of model information for both your iPad and Pencil, I had initially assumed an iPad with Lightning Port and a first generation Apple Pencil. I got the iPad maybe 2 months (bday in Oct) before I got the pencil (Christmas) In the settings/general/about there is only 1 entry for my apple pencil which shows numbers for:Īs for warranty I think I may have run out already assuming warranty is not as long as ipad warranty?! Limited warranty on ipad is until Sept 28, 2020. As I said, up until yesterday I was able to use the pencil because my son likes to draw when I have to distract him while we are at church then I also use the pencil to write notes when checking assignments. It seems to be all throughout the using the pencil and not just some apps because I used to be able to scroll through my ipad using my pencil instead of my finger. Yes I can see the batt of the pencil in the widget and also when connected.

I just thought that maybe it would reset if I were to do a full charge but battery life is pretty good so I didn't go through with it. My pencil (2nd gen) has always been connected to my ipad (3rd gen 12.9 inch ipad pro) because I have a case that keep them together. I hope this information proves to be helpful in both diagnosing and resolving the problem. Here is one of the better troubleshooting guides for the Apple Pencil that may be helpful in working through common issues: If purchased directly from Apple, if the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced at an Apple Store. If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless. It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge.

Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”. The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. When disconnected from iPad, does the Pencil disappear from the Battery Widget - or it’s indicated state of charge suddenly fall? If either of these are true, then the Pencil battery is likely to be dead. Is it 100%? if not, let it charge if it is fully charged, disconnect from the iPad. Finding both entries suggests that the Pencil electronics are good.Ĭheck the Battery Widget for the charge status of the Pencil. Scroll to the bottom of the page - and you should find two identical entries for the Pencil (one each for the physical and Bluetooth connections).

If your problem is system-wide, your Apple Pencil may be displaying symptoms of a dead battery - that will not accept or hold any charge.Īssuming that you do not have any other iPad charging issues - and that the Lightning Port of your iPad is free from debris - whilst the Pencil is plugged-in to the Lightning Port of your iPad, verify that the Pencil is recognised: Is your problem system-wide, or just with some Apps? If the problem affects specific Apps only, then the problem is not with the Pencil. Should you have an iPad Air3 with iPadOS 13.5.1, it has a bug that interferes with both pairing and operation of the Apple Pencil.

If you have not already done so, you must update to iPadOS 13.6.

First - never, ever, fully discharge an Apple Pencil.
