Left airpod not working after replacement
I was having issues with the left AirPod having a drastic battery drain (I.e. left at say 70 and right at say 100; or even 22 and 100). I did diagnostics with support and setup an appointment to go into the store and have the AirPods checked out. In store, diagnostics were run and I don’t think any issues were found, but they are under warranty.
The left AirPod gets replaced and that seeemigly fixes the battery drain. First thing I noticed after leaving the store-open the AirPods case and they don’t show connected. I pressed the pairing button and got them connected.
Over the weekend, I wanted to use the AirPods but there’s no sound on the left. Upon checking the details in Bluetooth settings, there’s no battery indicator for the left and the right has 100. I charged the case with the AirPods in them and still no sound when the case was fully charged.
With the battery drain before the replacement, the left side would discharge in the case. If I took it out and put it back in I might get lucky in that it would charge and all would be fine.
i tried resetting the AirPods but still not getting sound out of the left side. I would hope that a new AirPod would not be defective.
