I got a 2nd hand Apple Pencil 2nd generation and is not working. It connects to the iPad, it charges, but it doesn't write/work. I've tried everything (from touring off and then on the iPad, to every bluetooth option) but it won't work. Can a Apple Pencil just stop working/writing?
If the Pencil has successfully paired and is charged - but the Pencil does not function as expected - it is highly likely that the transducer element (that sits immediately under the replaceable tip) may have suffered damage.
Try replacing the tip, ensuring that the replacement is screwed snugly into position; you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body.
If replacing the pencil tip does not resolve this issue, or the tip is not correctly positioned in relation to the pencil body when fitted, then your Pencil is likely to have previously suffered irreparable damage.
