AirPods Max not turning on and not charging What is one to do when AirPods Max dos not turn on at all. It does not react to "reset" by holding the two buttons. No flickering light. These are not even three months old. I've had it on charge for 2 days, but nothing. I had it in the case and out of the case trying to charge, but still nothing. Any wisdom?

AirPod Pro Case I got my AirPods around 2 years ago. Recently the case light will not turn on and won’t charge the AirPods unless plugged in. The case can be fully charged and still not work unless plugged in. What should I do?
