Can't charge airpods case from computer USB ports?

My airpod pro case doesn't want to charge off the USB ports on any computer, but my iphone charges just fine using the same port and cable. What's going on?


To be clear, the case does charge just fine from a wall outlet, just not from a pc port, what happens is that it will show charging for about 10-20 seconds, and then stop, however the percentage never increases.

Troubleshooting AirPods Power:


A. Is this not a Mac? If so, contact the manufacturer, asking them for feedback. Probably a fluctuation in the power of the port.


B. A Few Links to Visit:





C. Try the Following Tasks:

  • Hold Down the Button on the case for about 15 seconds.


  • Use an Apple Brand Cable - not a third party one - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple)


  • Remove the AirPod from the Case, then place it back in the charger. Perhaps it need to resync with he charger.
