How do I reset my AirPods if there is no amber light?

Airpod case won't reset, there is no white or amber light; only a green light. Cannot get airpods to connect to iPhone or iPad

I tried all reset steps and software update.

Airpods Green Light Only (Solution)


Problem:


- Airpods no longer connect to any device, showing green light only


Solutions suggested by Apple or found on the internet that did not work:


- disconnect & reconnect


- "forget" the airpods on your device


- hold button till white or amber light appears (I've tried 15 seconds,

several minutes)


The solution that did work for me and I have not

seen anywhere:


- connect the case to charge it


- while pushing the button, disconnect the charging cable


The Airpods case immediately started flashing white, problem solved!
