airpods max three blinks

What does it mean when you try the "crown + ANC" reset on AirPods Max, and all it does is blink amber three times before going dark, and never going to white?

They're fully charged. Pressing ANC once gives a green LED, indicated >95%.


BUT they won't pair with anything. Pressing and holding the crown button and ANC together eventually gets me three amber blinks, but it never goes to white no matter how long I hold it.


Putting them in the "smart case" and pulling them back out gets a pulsing white LED, but they still won't pair to anything.
