AirPods won’t Reset
When attempting reset, no amber light flashes, only white.

This worked for me! Thanks so much!
Question marked as
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 don’t flash Amber or White at all. I push the setup button and all it does is show up blue and red, it’s battery life never pops up, I’ve never seen mine amber or white
Thank you very much, my right airpod finally works :‘)))

My AirPods were working perfect but then one day they just stopped they aren’t flashing at all.
Hi,
I followed your steps exactly. In step 6, when I hold the button , I see only white light flashing instead the amber. Tried everything. It won’t work. Any help is appreciated . Thanks !!!
did u manage to fix it?
I’ve removed the airpod and inserted it around 200 times now, no solution. I cleaned it and it just doesn’t want to work😕
Did slamming it against a table actually work? Because I am facing the exact same issue. Wouldn't slamming it against a table break the airpod?
That worked for me. Hours of trying different things, then one quick lick and it was sorted - thank you!
i have the same problem, any solutions?
Trying to reset but the light doesn’t blink it is solid
ummm yeah that didn’t work.
Thanks, this solved it for me, took me a while, but once I read your answer I realized what the issue was!
Still nothing working for me.
