[@timesnewroman2103]

Bought my Pencil in 2017 and haven’t used it once. Today I placed it onto a heater and it came to life! 6 years without charge. Remarkable, thank you

[@adesfavs]

Wow. I'm glad it worked :)

[@FourwheelsMarvels]

Wonderful ..worked ..I just turn on the electric pan and showed above with movement , real quick it worked

[@titocolor]

I wanted to comment to support this genius. For anyone scared that all the comments are bots, or fake. I promise you this is real and some how this man fixed what a billion dollar company fails to give advice for. Keep it up man!

[@adesfavs]

haha, thanks for the support :)

[@enkelikitty]

OMG!!! You saved my life. I was recently laid off of my work, and I needed to come back to illustrating, and the pencil wasn’t working anymore. I had no money to replace it. So, I love you, and if I was near to you I would bake you a cake. (That´s what we say here in Chile) Thank you soooo much!!!! ❤🎉😊

[@adesfavs]

Hahaha. Great story. Sorry you got laid off but I with you success with the illustration . I like cake so that would have been nice haha.

[@kasinachibi9525]

También soy de chile jsjs veré si me funciona el truco

[@liltwinstarzz]

@@adesfavsI let it sit there for 20+ minutes.. can you pls leave other tips?? mines still not working after no use for a yr 😖

[@PinefrostLT]

I was blowing my hairdryer to my Apple Pencil 1st gen for 3 minutes and it came back to life! You’re a lifesaver man! Thank you!

[@Mohamadzada05]

Dose anytime droped in the flower?

[@Hbartattoo]

It worked🎉 just 3 min with the hairdryer 🎉 thank you so much! You just saved me 100€

[@saosu5079]

you saved my money

[@joshuacarranza7199]

​@@saosu5079 Te funciono?

[@user-be5kz7oj2k]

says my pencil has less than 3% battery and disconnects or remains connected but once I remove it from iPad charging port, it disconnects I can't use the pencil for even one second. please give me a solution to fix it.

[@brandonogden4272]

Did you ever figure out anything? Mine says the same?

[@saminawasim4525]

​@@brandonogden4272did u figure out anything????mine ipencil is doing the same thing

[@ceoofthesky]

Lithium battery broken. No way of repair. Only way is to get a new one. This happened to me before

[@CarolRodrigues-eq7gj]

Respuestasa

[@pmarieb4083]

My pencil was working before my update and now it doesn’t work. It says Apple Pencil when I connect it to the side of iPad but it no longer shows the charging bar.

[@Yoethawathi]

Bro ty so much, at first I tried it but it didn’t work so I did it again and guess what?It worked! Absolute legend bro deserves a like 👊

[@Abrevadero]

This is the most underrated tutorial I’ve ever seen that works 100%!! Thank you man!

[@adesfavs]

It's quite crazy really haha.

[@kristinmitchell5691]

You are a godsend! This worked. I put it next to my space heater for about 3-4 min and I was able to connect. Sure enough the battery was 0. I haven’t used the pencil prior in months. You were spit on. Thank you!

[@adesfavs]

Wow. I’m glad it worked 🙌

[@beasterduder4200]

Are u sure it works I’m bout a do it

[@Piercedoesitall]

Yeah@@beasterduder4200

[@HelloThereMUAHHAHA]

It didn’t work for me :(

[@Yuina_221]

You are a lifesaver! I was so worried about my apple pencil, thank you so much! I’m definitely gonna follow more of your tutorials, you are a genius

[@adesfavs]

Haha. Thanks. I'm glad it worked :)

[@Anastasiashorts505]

Thanks

[@beWorldly]

Thanks bro, I know if I'd taken this to the genuis bar, those 'geniuses' would've quoted me a $100 bill to just get me to buy a new one.

[@richardallam3025]

Brilliant fix! I've just come back from the genius bar where I was told my pencil was broken and I would need to buy a replacement. Ade, you are the genius here. Thank you so much.

[@adesfavs]

I’m glad 🙌 Enjoy your pencil 🙏

[@zach_w20]

got it to connect but it immediately disconnected and won’t charge

[@espeontail]

i tried this but it didn't work. i used my blow dryer for around 10mins but mine still refuses to stay connected :(

[@cookiebartosh4842]

4:01

[@soyunoforinfo3247]

This actually worked for my apple pencil 1. Need to wait and see how long it will actually hold a charge, but it's finally paired and charging.

[@adesfavs]

It’s quite a random thing 😂

[@oce4n_youregurl]

Still didn’t work 😢

[@OddSocksQueen]

The ingenious ways in which people are warming their pencils up is actually hilarious. Mine is far less creative! It’s currently wrapped in a dry rag, sitting on top of a mug of boiled water. I’m hoping the steam will be enough to get it going. Edit- it worked! 😅

[@adesfavs]

😂😂😂

[@Toastonbeans885]

What a legend I was genuinely surprised this worked thanks alot

[@Shirl33n]

Ok this worked for me ! But at first it didn’t. First I unpaired the pencil and did it his way with a pot of water and cloth, but that didn’t work. Then I wrapped the pencil in a rag and put it in between a flat iron on the lowest setting for 15 minutes (caution-this is potentially dangerous and WILL damage the skin of the stylus a bit) then immediately put it to charge on my iPad for 15 minutes. That still didn’t work, so without removing the pencil at all, I did a hard reset on the iPad, and it worked after that! Hopefully this will help someone else who’s pencil didn’t work at first either. I have the first gen pencil. :)

[@Im_bob_1]

I’ve done this many times still hasn’t worked

[@neaparis6114]

This worked in less than 5 minutes! I used a hot pack, microwaved it and then folded my pencil into the pack. It then paired! THANK YOU!!! 😊

[@adesfavs]

Nice! I'm glad it worked :)

[@zen3650]

How long do I leave it in the pack😅

[@angeladancey4837]

Did the same thing for 20 minutes. Woke it up! So cool!

[@reducedfatmomma]

This isn’t working for me. What am I doing wrong?? 😫😫😫

[@jenifferward7272]

I was about to buy a new pencil! This was a fantastic hack. Thanks for the information.

[@adesfavs]

This is starting to cost Apple money 🤣

[@danbo433]

Hello. Been having exactly the same issues that you have encountered. Did you get yours to come back to life and stay alive? Got mine back up to 100 percent but as soon as I removed it from the port, nada. Still nothing. Dead again. Apple never made a big deal out of this when I spent over £100 quid on it a couple of years ago. i understand it only comes with a one year warranty but feel that at that price point, they should do better. Many thanks.

[@adesfavs]

Mine works still. Yes I’m seeing this issue more and more online. Apple just wants you to buy the latest one.

[@maispourquoi8672]

My son found your solution, we tried it and it worked! 🎉🎉🎉 💯 ! We never used it since we bought for 3 years so it’s an old model, happy it still can get to work. Thank you so much! ❤

[@adesfavs]

I'm glad it worked

[@Lanasj5]

Unfortunately I've tried everything since I really don't wanna play extra for a new pencil! 😭 Ever since I got it my pencil wouldn't connect to my iPad without Lightblue, and even then it took 15-20 minutes to get it connected... When I heat it a bunch it still doesn't work , so I may just count my losses and give in. I really appreciate your video for help! I'll definitely use this if my new one acts up. 😊 I'm an android person, but because I love to use procreate I decided to go for apple, but tbh my original opinion on apple products have been proven true. 😅

[@leehuong122]

I tried. I showed connection but it is not stable. still not working

[@fernandosekito3372]

Thank you very much for sharing this video. It worked perfectly on my Apple Pencil 1 with the iPad 6th generation. I have to admit that I didn't believe it when I first saw the video, but I decided to give it a try and it was the only procedure that solved my problem

[@adesfavs]

I didn't believe it either at first, which is why I recorded the video in case it actually worked haha.

[@destineeschannel3782]

I haven’t used my Apple Pencil in months. It stills pairs, charges, but yet it doesn’t work on my device. I don’t know what to do😢

[@lenaghalib1506]

I was so depressed when this happened but you saved me thanks a lot, very appreciated

[@adesfavs]

☀️🙏

[@ThePinkpopdiva]

When i tell you i watched this and thought... There is no way thats for real. Well i just tried it (used a hairdryer on low heat and blast for about two minutes) and it worked. Strangest fix ive ever seen. Youve earned yourself a sub good sir, keep up the good work ❤

[@adesfavs]

It's a strange one. Thanks for the sub :)

[@lexayika6825]

Thank youuuuuu!!!! I lost my pencil at school on the first back so had to take my moms and she has never used it and I couldn’t get it to work. This video is a life saver!!!

[@adesfavs]

wow. I'm glad it worked.

[@simaobanina464]

Still didn’t work with mine 😔

[@unnecessaryperson8023]

THANK U SOOOOO MUCCHHH !!!! YOU SAVED MY MONEY AND LIFE THANK U SO MUCH!!!!!! (Side note: u can also use a hairdryer it takes 15seconds and it works also) but thank u so much again I was so stressed so it made my day!

[@IrmaJames-w6w]

Three minutes on high on heat pad worked for my Apple Pencil. It paired with my iPad with no problem. Thank you for sharing this information.

[@adesfavs]

[@adamloveless3576]

[@alawiyyaisa2299]

It’s liying to you it’s charging 😂😂😂 and also thank you for the advice I am helping my mother 👩 with her apple 🖊️ pencil❤❤❤

[@adesfavs]

lol

[@KiwiKJ]

Dude thank you! Worked perfect. Heated my 3d printer bed to 60 celsius, lefit it there for 5 minutes, plugged it in and finally worked lmao

[@adesfavs]

Omg that’s probably the best anecdote so far! I’m glad it worked for you 😂 I wonder if Apple knows about this

[@okan9853]

I did everything what you said but it keeps connecting and disconnecting during charging. It says 100% but when i take it off its still 3%… any suggestions?

[@adesfavs]

Try removing the pencil completely from Bluetooth settings and re-pair it

[@danielavallejo1074]

It worked!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much, I was about to buy a new one when I saw your video.

[@adesfavs]

I'm starting to cost Apple sales haha. I'm glad it worked :)

[@AyaAng-o4e]

I begged my mom if I could do this to fix my Apple pen I have a little charger from my Apple pen and it plugs into the lamp and I’ve been plugging it in and it hasn’t been charging, but my mom said that lamp hasn’t been plugged in when my mom said that I realized how dumb I was so now I know to make sure that lamp is plugged in😹😹

[@adesfavs]

😂😂🙌😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@yamicout2]

subscribing. It work when I heated it up

[@adesfavs]

Thank you :). Crazy isn’t it 😄

[@JustabeautifulIntrovert]

I am telling yall this WORKED !! Baby heat some tap water in the microwave til it boils , Get a tea towel , pour water on tea towel Pat it a little to cool it down put that Apple Pencil right in the middle cover everything but the both end part so it doesn’t get wet Let it heat on up for 5 to 10 minutes Now on your iPad on Bluetooth Press forget pencil And then after you heat pencil Remove it from towel , should just be warm to touch , Now on blue tooth turn on and pencil should pop up when you plug it in , “Like to connect new pencil “ Yes Bammmm it works !!! Just saved me $70 lol I don’t feel like buying a new pencil THANK YOUUUUUU

[@Zteezoo]

The hot-water-bottle method actually worked! I am gobsmacked! Tried every other method! Thanks for the informative video!

[@adesfavs]

☀️🙌

[@ladytillie7025]

Is it intentional from Apple so we keep buying pencils like nursery kids

[@adesfavs]

lol. who knows.

[@ImZiraTheFirst]

Great info! Thanks so much!

[@jojomascalero]

unfortunately this did not work for me :(

[@CharlieMarlie69]

I never comment on videos but THIS IS LEGIT! Thank you so much man I was worried I had to go and buy a new one but this really worked! Hope you reach your sub goal 🔥😤💪

[@adesfavs]

I’m glad it worked. It’s a little strange but it’s chemistry I guess :)

[@sleepydaze_luvsyall]

I accidentally forgot the bluetooth connection and idk how to get it back its not in the other connections please help me i can’t even use it for 1 second i tried charging it for days the battery doesn’t even appear in the apple pencil settings i wanna get it to work please help me i even updated the ipad, restarted it, nothing works

[@adesfavs]

If you plug it into the iPad for 5 seconds or more, it will create a Bluetooth connection and pair

[@sleepydaze_luvsyall]

@@adesfavs its a 2nd generation

[@sleepydaze_luvsyall]

@@adesfavs I’ve plugged it for more than a week, nothing.

[@jackt4855]

Absolutely blown away that this works!!! Currently my pencil is having a fun time glitching but its actually being recognized by my ipad!!! Thank you so much!!

[@adesfavs]

Hahaha. It's like alchemy 😅

[@elnazdaghighnia4604]

It doesn't work

[@adesfavs]

it's worth trying a few times. also be sure to remove the pencil from bluetooth settings first.

[@colescommunity7335]

Wrapped my pen in warm bread, thanks !

[@adesfavs]

🤣🤣🤣

[@profesorbeyin4175]

it actually worked. dont be scared about heatin it it works. he ssaved my life thank youuu

[@vanessz]

This is my first ever youtube comment BUT BRO YOU'RE A GOD!!!! I had a lot of trouble with Apple Pencils ever since I got my first one and then after a long time of suffering I could finally use my current one for over 10 months without a problem. Then one day while drawing with it, my iPad suddenly shut down due to battery exhaustion and when I charged it and turned back on, my Apple Pencil stopped working. It was just like in your video. I contacted Apple Support, did everything they suggested but nothing worked. I started to lose hope and got really really frustrated. Then I ACCIDENTALLY bumped into your video and OH MY GOD IT WORKED!! 🎉🙆🥰 Thank you so much!

[@adesfavs]

Hahaha amazing story. Happy to help 🙌😅

[@victoriamunoz5455]

thank you smmm it workeddd!!!

[@willmason5774]

This is my third Apple Pencil and I’ve only just seen this video! I’ve been sending them back as broken! This should be the first result when you search for Apple Pencil not working! Thanks!

[@adesfavs]

That's amazing. It's crazy how Apple doesn't know about their own product

[@eneshin]

it’s not working for me,i tried as u said tho but it’s doesn’t show to me the bluetooth connection, is this mean that my apple pencil is totally broken?

[@adesfavs]

It's worth trying a few times. It worked for some after a third attempt. It's also worth removing any other pencils from the bluetooth beforehand. But, yes, sadly some pencils are just broken.

[@Vanessa-jh4mk]

THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!❤️ i can’t believe it, you fixed my pen, i was hopeless. THANK YOU!!

Nah dog, this is nonsense. Just click the ℹ️ next to the Bluetooth entry and then “Forget Device”. Then pair as usual. 😂

THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!🔥 Blown away by this hack 🤩

[@nightlock2557]

I have a problem with my Apple Pencil gen 1. I connect it fine, but it doesn’t write. When I disconnect it from the port, it flashes not connected. If I go to about I can see Apple Pencil option, but if I connect the Pencil it’s there twice. Also if I go to Apple Pencil settings I can see it’s charged but if I plug it in, for a while it shows it’s dead. Do you have some tip on how to fix this? I will be trying your hot water bottle method as well.

[@adesfavs]

Have you tried removing it from bluetooth connection "forgot this device" and starting from scratch? Sometimes the bluetooth gets buggy. Also the tip is replaceable. They usually come with extras in the original box, but you can pick them up on eBay or Amazon.

[@LamiaBoualem]

did you find a solution ?

[@-AtifAhnaf]

OMG THANK U SOO MUCHHHHH❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. ( for the people who are saying it connects and disconnects, and goes dead after u unplug. It was happening to me too! I just kept redoing it and heating it more and more until it worked. And after 6th try it worked and I am so happy omg. Thank u so much ❤❤❤❤❤.

[@nicyee3701]

The pens charging port is completely different to the tablet's. So disappointing.

[@peterzoch7851]

I will try microwave for 10 sec ;))))

[@ClarisseGames]

Bad idea

[@MimiD14]

Thanks this works !! IMPORTANT TIP ! Make sure you disconnect (forget this device) from the device. I heated it 3 times before i saw he mentioned in the comments to disconnect !

[@philipwolff1257]

You’re a life-saver! Thank you so much 🥳 !

[@nehirowski]

My Apple Pencil didn’t write so i click to forget the device in bluetooth and when i tried to connect it again it didnt even show it in bluetooth what should i do

[@wanderermathematician7859]

Thank u so much sir. You are a genius. I bought 1st pencil today. And it was not getting connected nothing. I tried hot bag etc all but then I tried hair drier and it worked. I checked that the pencil was manufactured in 2022

[@PreparelikeJoseph]

my pen is 100% chargged and connected, it just goes for weeks where it wont write and then it does again. apple has issues.

[@skrilla20]

Yoo it worked! put in under a cloth with a hot pan on top after 15 minutes its connected and started charging

[@Zunjoo]

BROOOO! I swear to god you saved my life so much, I was so stressed out about this issue, I thought that my pencil is broken and I don’t want to waste any money for it. Literally saved my life. What I did is i wrapped the Pen with a cloth and heat it using a hairdryer for a few minutes (don’t put it too close). It probably took me like 2-3 minutes and after that, I charged the pen and it suddenly works! Thank you very much! ❤

[@adesfavs]

Hahaha nice one 🔥

[@xX_NightmarePickle_Xx]

World because basically heat=energy of particles = energy transfers pretty much that the basic

[@zohaanakbar7205]

Omg omg. I didnot use my pencil for 2 years and i had no idea it needs to be charged all the time. Today i wanted to use it and it was dead and nlt charging. I was dead worried, i knew i wont be able to buy it again. Somehow ended up on your video, used hairdryer for 2 3 minutes. It didnot worked right away but after restarting the ipad it has started to charge. thankyou so muchhhh

Hii great video it really help me my Apple Pencil is much better but the thing is that she changed up to 15% and when I remove it she goes down to 3% and i put back and she goes up to 60% when i remove it back to 3% maybe you know why?

[@clauyez]

Thank you very much, I was very worried and now it works. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THE WORLD, YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@rafaleciej5912]

I bought an "untested" pencil in a pawn shop, I bargained it down to PLN 40 ($10), the seller agreed because he probably thought it was garbage. Of course, the Pencil turned out to be faulty. after your video, I wrapped it in a rag and put it in the air fryer for 5 minutes, 80 degrees Celsius. works perfectly :) thank you!

[@adesfavs]

I’ve noticed a lot fewer of these pencils on eBay now as well 😂😂
