If your AirPods case is flashing green

I've scoured the interwebs, can't find any solution to this problem. Only my right airpod works. Case and AirPods are charged. My AirPod case seems to show that it recognizes when I put my left AirPod in and out, because it will begin blinking amber when I put it in by itself, and stop blinking amber when I take it out. It even shows the correct animation (2 AirPods in case) when pairing, but when choosing AirPods for the music output, it only shows that I have one (right) airpod. No matter what I try, I cannot get my left airpod to fully sync.

Go into Settings on your phone and iPad, go to Bluetooth, and unpair the AirPods. Then open the case and hold the pairing button on the back until the white flashing light flashes amber a few times and goes back to flashing white. Release the button and close the case. Then, open the case near your iPhone and pair the AirPods.


This process will re-pair both AirPods with the charging case and resets their settings. Both AirPods should work after this.

I've had this issue with my right AirPod, twice!! First time was about 2 weeks after purchasing them with some light use in April, got a full replacement from the store. The same thing has now happened, flashing green light when the AirPod is in. Non of the usual steps work, getting replacement AirPod sent from Apple. Doesn't seem to be the case itself as the wifes AirPods are fine in my case. Third time lucky hopefully!

Same for me. I’ve had my 2nd gen AirPods for 2 months and today they stopped working. I accidentally unpaired my AirPods so I went to pair them back but the animation that pops up on your phone when you flip the lid open didn’t show up so I looked at the led light and it was flashing green with both air pods in the case so I press the reset button down for 15 secs and it stayed solid white, no amber. My AirPods won’t reset!! My phone is up to date, the case and AirPods are fully charged, I cleaned the AirPods and case but I have a flashing green light still when I pop my case open wth? I don’t understand how they have answers for every color led light but not for “flashing green light”! $170 down the drain
