General and ongoing cleaning can help you maintain your AirPods or AirPods Pro.

My Airpods Pro 2 will not light up nor charge, no light regardless of how long I leave it plugged in.

Tried all the regular suggestions but it wouldn't light up or charge.

Hi danhorn,


We'd recommend attempting to reset your AirPods as outlined in the article here: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support


If they either won't reset, or still show no lights whatsoever, also test on a different charger and plugged into a different outlet.


Should the issue persist, contact Apple Support to look at service options.


Take care.

SOLVED (and certainly not by Apple):


If anyone thinks well or maybe owns the device you'd know there is zero (0) way to reset Airpods if they aren't charged or paired, duh!


Eventually, I discovered a Magsafe charger and laid the Airpod case on it, and guess what, it lit up orange.

Immediately plugged it into a charger cable and guess what, it worked, was fully charged, and just needed a backdoor kick in the behind to realize that.


So regardless of the Community Specialist's response, I got it working and THIS is a solution, not pointing people to useless information a sixth, no third!, grader would know about using Airpods.
