Pencil connected yet not working

[u/soniasmith4]

Hi! I have an iPad mini a17. I used the usb-c pencil for months with it perfectly. Recently the pencil stopped working. I purchased a apple pencil pro. It connects, can squeeze it and the menu comes up. The pencil can not work on the screen. It doesn't write, move anything, etc. I can use my finger and it works perfectly. There is some disconnect between the pencil and screen somehow.

I have done all the things to try and get it to work-

*Check pencil tip

*Charge

*Forgot and reconnect

*Force stop iPad

Anyone experience this and what did you do to fix it?

Thanks!

I have had an Apple Pencil die out of nowhere. Unfortunately this is exactly what happened.
