What does solid white light on airpods mean? When pressing setup button? It will not flash and connect.

Problem solved. Press and hold the button at the back and keep holding. The white light starts flashing less than 2 minutes.

Hello,

Have you tried all of these steps:

If you can't set up your AirPods

If you don't see the setup animation when you try to set up your AirPods with your iPhone, follow these steps. After each step, try to set up your AirPods again.

1. Make sure that your AirPods are charged.
2. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. The status light should flash white.
3. If the status light doesn't flash white, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until you see the status light flash white.
4. Still can't set up your AirPods? Press and hold the setup button for at least 15 seconds, until you see the status light flash amber a few times and then flash white.

If this doesn't work contact Apple Support

Okay, try the steps above. If that doesn't work it will be best to contact Apple Support as they have the tools to try to diagnose what the problem is.
