When attempting reset, no amber light flashes, only white.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Has happened to me several times. Finally figured it out. You can’t fully reset the Airpods unless *both* airpods are fully physically connected inside the case. The catch is that one airpod might not fully connect, so even if it’s physically in the case, the case doesn’t *think* it’s in there, and won’t let you reset no matter how long you hold down the button.
So take out both airpods, and put in one at a time. The troublesome AirPod might not activate the amber “charging” light if it doesn’t make a connection. So take it out, and put it back in, a couple times, until re-insertion finally activates an amber light. You may need to clean the contacts inside the case with a cotton swab. Then put the other one back in, and confirm you still see an amber light. *Then* you can do a hard reset by holding down the button for 15 seconds until you get yet another amber light and then flashing white.
TLDR, reinsert the problem AirPod over and over again until the case *recognizes* it by turning the light amber.
Mine has been resetting for a while now, but the amber light shows. It blinks for a little, then goes right back to resetting. Can anyone give me a solution?
Your suggestion worked for me–thank you!!
Hi Klut .Have you been abl e to solve this problem or you had to throw them.
I just bought one having same issue. Brand new from duty free airport.
Still not working
It’s white but won’t blink
Me too... I got it 2 months ago and I somehow fixed that problem. This morning when I woke up the same problem occurred again and now I don't know what to do.
Thank you so much! I had the same problem as you described and slamming against a table was the only solution that helped me.
My AirPods only flash amber and don’t wanna reset
I’m currently having the same problem where sometimes my left AirPod is on 9% and the right one is fully charged at 100%
left airpod not working
tried to reset but amber light per reset instructions but it does not come on during reset routine
airpods will resinc with phone but left airpod still does not work
I did that it doesn’t work
Solution..?
My AirPods won’t reset or connect to my iPhone 7
Worked finally!!!
Your steps worked for me. It's off because both Airpods were showing full charge before I cleaned the contacts. Recharging now and hoping that the left mic was not working for this reason.
