Hi, I’ve replaced a cracked lcd/digitizer assembly on an iPad Pro 12.9" device and the client says the apple pencil doesnt work with the new screen. Anyone else experience the same fault?
The Problem was a faulty screen, replaced the screen with a new one and pencil is working perfect.
have you tried re-pairing it? I assume each screen has a unique identifier in it. It would kinda, almost make sense that re-pairing would fix it.
Installed a new digitizer and everything tested fine. During final assembly, backlight connector came off daughter board. Didn’t realize this until it booted up. Thought a backlight chip maybe had been fried. Relieved to see that it was just a connector. After powering off and rechecking all connections. Started the unit up and now zero touch. Solder job was perfect. At a loss as to what the issue is now. Very little information out there on this.
Apparently when you have an Apple Pencil in the box without being charged for a prolonged period of time it loses it functionality and no longer pairs with the device. The apple store is charging me $79.99 for a replacement unit which is a not terrible but what a shame I paid that on eBay for a defective unit. Wish I would have bought it in the apple store the first time.
