Airpods completely not working

After resetting my AirPods because they wouldn’t charge right , I now have the problem of them not flashing white when holding the back button for 15 seconds. Before I reset them I also had the issue of no other color showing up besides orange, even when I disconnected then reconnected them. I have no clue what is wrong with them at this point, any tips?

B. 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.
