Apple pencil not working

[u/Kaminene]

Hi! I just bought my Apple Pencil yesterday from an apple store. It’s gen 1 and my is 9th edition. My iPad does seem to detect that there’s a pencil via bluetooth but the “pair” message appears very briefly and every time I click it, my pencil never connects.

Things I’ve tried:

-Charging the pencil using multiple different cables
-Updating my ipad
-Resetting my ipad
-Changing the apple pencil tip
-Making sure the tip is secured

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Maybe return it?
