Troubleshooting AirPods Charge:



How to Fix This:

Try troubleshooting the power manually...

A. A Few Links to Visit:

• Start Here: Charge your AirPods with Charging Case and Learn about Battery Life - Apple Support

• If your AirPods Won’t Charge - Apple Support

• How to Clean your AirPods and EarPods - Apple Support

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.

Your best choice would be to take it to an official Apple Store. If you have had them for a long time, it’s probable that something has happened with the internals on either the case or earbud. I wouldn’t suggest taking it to any repair shop that is not Apple authorized. You may also consider buying a new pair altogether, if the repair price is too high for your liking.
