The AirPods by Apple are a great pair of earbuds that have been called the best wireless earbuds for Apple users by Insider.
But it won't matter how good their sound quality is if you suddenly find out that the AirPods are not charging.
Here, in this article, we will help you find and fix the problem of your AirPods not being charged so that you can get back to listening to your favourite audio.
There could be a number of causes for your AirPods not charging.
These are some of the most common causes:
You can use these fixes to try and solve the AirPods not charging problem.
When you insert them for charging, are your Airpods making contact with the charging case? The charging happens at the small silver tip and when you put your AirPods in the case there should be a magnetic snap when the AirPods are placed properly. You will probably have to replace your battery case if this isn't happening. But let's try the next step before you do that.
You can also remove the AirPods and check if there is something that is blocking them from fitting correctly into the case.
The connection points that allow for the AirPods to charge might not be completing a circuit if the AirPods are dirty. It's possible that the charging contacts on your AirPods are so dirty that they cannot form a strong connection. Examine the charging connections, and then thoroughly clean both the AirPods and the charging case. After being cautious (but thorough), attempt to charge them again.
You may have missed an update if it has been a while since you have updated your AirPods firmware, and that could be the cause for this problem.
Insert the AirPods into the case. Launch the Settings app, then select Bluetooth. Locate the entry for your AirPods and then hit the information icon to the right. Tap Forget this Device and then confirm your selection. Then, you may open the lid and reassemble your AirPods. If setup is not automatic, press and hold the button on the case's back to initiate the procedure.
If none of these troubleshooting techniques restores the functionality of your AirPods, contact Apple customer care. You most likely have a hardware issue with your AirPods or charging case, and you may require repair or replacement.
These are the different ways in which you can fix the AirPods not charging issue.
If after trying everything, your AirPods are still not charging then you will have to replace the AirPods or change the case. You can visit the nearest Apple Store for better help in that case.
