没有什么比把钱花在一个漂亮的、闪亮的新Apple Pencil上,然后回到家发现所说的Apple Pencil不工作更糟糕的了。但与许多技术一样,问题通常有一个简单的解决方案。你只需要弄清楚。
因此,如果您的Apple Pencil无法正常工作,请尝试以下 5 个故障排除技巧,从最简单到最烦人。
确保笔尖紧贴(Make Sure The Nib Is On Tightly)
铅笔的笔尖应该已经装好了,但如果你的笔尖有一点瑕疵或在盒子里松了,也许它只需要拧紧就可以了?
没有必要把它拧得太紧(too),因为这可能会破坏它。但只是轻轻地测试一下,看看它是否松动。如果是这样,请稍微收紧一点。如果你不能(因为它坏了),你会在铅笔(Pencil)盒里找到一个替换笔尖。如果您已经使用过替代品,您可以从亚马逊购买新的(you can buy new ones from Amazon)。
给铅笔充电(Recharge The Pencil)
如果笔尖没问题,下一步就是看看Pencil是否需要充电。
我们已经介绍了如何检查 Apple Pencil 电池(how to check the Apple Pencil battery)。如果它显示电池需要充电,只需取下Pencil的顶部即可露出充电器。
将(Insert)Pencil充电器插入包装内的小适配器。在适配器的另一端,插入Lightning电缆并将其连接到电源。如果Pencil是新的,充电将花费很少的时间。
在大多数情况下,将Pencil充电至 100% 即可解决任何问题。
重启你的 iPad(Reboot Your iPad)
不,它没有工作?好的,如果您的Apple Pencil仍然无法使用,那么它可能不是Pencil,而是您尝试使用的 iPad。正如经典的技术口号所说,“您是否尝试过将其关闭然后重新打开?”(have you tried turning it off then back on again?”)
重新启动(Reboot)您的 iPad,然后查看Pencil是否可以正常工作。有时,设备所需要的只是稍微摇晃一下主板。
重新配对铅笔和 iPad(Re-Pair The Pencil & The iPad)
哦,所以它仍然无法正常工作?好的,那么下一步就是将Pencil与 iPad 的蓝牙(Bluetooth)取消配对,然后重新配对,就像从头开始一样。
要取消配对,请转至 iPad 设置,然后转至蓝牙(Bluetooth)。
您会看到列出的Apple Pencil 。现在点击Connected(Connected)旁边右侧的蓝色“i”图标。
它会询问您是否要忘记此设备(forget this device)。点击该选项,iPad 将“忘记”您Pencil的蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置。Pencil现已“未配对” 。
现在,要重新配对 iPad 和Pencil ,请取下(Pencil)Pencil的顶部以露出充电器。将(Insert)Pencil充电器插入 iPad的充电端口。片刻之后,您将看到以下内容。
点击配对(Pair),iPad 将再次记住 Pencil 的蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置。
联系 Apple 进行维修或更换(Contact Apple For a Repair Or Replacement)
如果前四个选项都不起作用,那么您的Pencil很可能坏了。您现在唯一的选择是联系Apple并要求他们进行维修,或者,如果问题出在Apple上,请要求他们用新的 Pencil 更换有缺陷的Pencil。
只需到离您最近的Apple商店或授权的第三方经销商处询问即可。或者打电话给他们。

5 Things To Try If Your Apple Pencil Is Not Working
There’s nothing wоrse thаn spending your money on a nice new shiny Apple Pencіl and then arriving hоme to discover that said Apple Рencil is not working. But аs with many things tech, quite often there is a simple solution to the prоblem. You juѕt have to figure it out.
So if your Apple Pencil is not working, here are 5 troubleshooting tips to try, ranging from the easiest to the most annoying.
Make Sure The Nib Is On Tightly
The nib of the pencil should already be on properly, but if yours is slightly defective or becomes loose in the box, maybe all it needs is for it to be tightened?
There’s no need to tighten it too much as that could break it even more. But just gently test to see if it is loose. If so, tighten it up a bit. If you can’t (because it’s broken), you’ll find a replacement nib inside the Pencil box. If you’ve already used the replacement, you can buy new ones from Amazon.
Recharge The Pencil
If the nib is fine, the next step is to see if the Pencil needs to be recharged.
We have already covered how to check the Apple Pencil battery. If it shows that the battery needs charging, simply remove the top of the Pencil to reveal the charger.
Insert the Pencil charger into the small adaptor, which you’ll find inside the packaging. At the other end of the adaptor, insert a Lightning cable and attach that to a power source. If the Pencil is new, charging will take very little time at all.
In most cases, charging the Pencil to 100% should take care of any problems.
Reboot Your iPad
No, it didn’t work? OK, if your Apple Pencil is still not working then it might not be the Pencil but instead the iPad you’re trying to work on. As the classic tech slogan goes, “have you tried turning it off then back on again?”
Reboot your iPad, and see if the Pencil then works. Sometimes all a device needs is a bit of a shake and a kick up the motherboard.
Re-Pair The Pencil & The iPad
Oh, so it’s still not working? OK, then the next step is to unpair the Pencil from the iPad’s Bluetooth and re-pair it as if you are starting from scratch.
To unpair, go to the iPad settings and then Bluetooth.
You’ll see the Apple Pencil listed. Now tap on the blue ‘i’ icon on the right-hand side next to Connected.
It will ask you if you want to forget this device. Tap on the option and the iPad will ‘forget’ your Pencil’s Bluetooth settings. The Pencil has now been “unpaired”.
Now, to re-pair the iPad and the Pencil, remove the top of the Pencil to reveal the charger. Insert the Pencil charger into the charging port of the iPad. A few moments later, you will see the following.
Tap Pair and the iPad will remember the Pencil’s Bluetooth settings again.
Contact Apple For a Repair Or Replacement
If the previous four options have not worked, then in all likelihood, your Pencil is broken. Your only option now is to contact Apple and ask them to repair it or, if the fault lies with Apple, ask them to replace the defective Pencil with a new one.
Just go into your nearest Apple store or authorized third-party reseller and ask. Or call them up.
