How to Fix One AirPod Not Charging Issue?

Apple’s AirPods is one of the most widely used wireless earbuds on the market. They are often referred to as a masterpiece of craftsmanship in the product line for earphones. But, like any other electrical gadget, AirPods can have one AirPod not o charge, after a few months of use.

Your AirPods are made so that you can listen for at least 4.5 hours on a single charge and up to 30 hours if you keep charging them in the case. But sometimes things go wrong and your AirPods don’t charge they should. Here are a few things that can cause this and how to fix it.

Why won’t my Apple AirPods charge?

There are a few things that could keep your AirPods from charging. If your AirPods won’t connect to the charging case, it could be because the contacts are dirty. After all, something is blocking the charging port on your case, or because of a problem with the software. You might even find that the problem is something as simple as a dead AirPods case.

How to Fix the “One AirPod isn’t Charging” Problem?

It’s a common problem that can be annoying and stop you from doing things during the day. Most problems with AirPods can be fixed without having to call Apple or send them back. Before calling Apple customer service, try these steps.

Solution 1: Clean your Apple AirPods.

The charging contacts on your AirPods may be so dirty that they can’t make a good connection. Check the charging connections, then clean both the AirPods and the charging case. Be careful but thorough, and then try charging them again.

You should be careful around the openings of the earbuds and any electrical parts that are open (the port that connects the charging case and the Airpod comes to mind). It’s best to stay away from things that are corrosive or made of metal because they could damage your AirPods on the outside or inside.

Solution 2: Put the AirPod back in

Sometimes AirPods aren’t charging because they aren’t making enough contact with the charging port when they are in the charging case. If the charging symbol doesn’t show up when you bring the AirPods close to your iPhone, take off any extra parts, like foam ear tips, and then try to put the AirPod back in.

Solution 3: Check the level of the charging case battery

If the charge on your charging case isn’t up to par, it won’t be able to charge your AirPods. This shouldn’t take more than an hour if your charging case is plugged in correctly.

It’s easy and mostly the same whether you’re checking the earbuds or the case to see if they’re charged. Just put the AirPods in the charging case and bring it to your phone while it’s charging. Then, flip the case lid up. On the front of your iPhone, it will be easy to see how much battery your case and AirPods have left.

Don’t worry about overcharging your case because the batteries are made to reject voltage once they are full.

Solution 4: Buy an Apple Cable for Charging

Who hasn’t been in a hurry and bought a questionable third-party charger at the sketchy Valero two miles from their house on the way to work? They’re not perfect, but they’re cheap and can save the day if you’re short on time.

Even if the ends of two cables match, they don’t always work together. This can make it hard to charge your phone, tablet, or earbuds.

Check the charging cable for your Airpod case. If it’s not made by Apple, it could be why your case has trouble charging your AirPods, if it even recognizes the charger. Don’t waste your money on another Apple cable and charger if you already have one.

Solution 5: Update the firmware on your AirPods

If you haven’t updated the firmware on your AirPods in a while, you may have missed an update, which could be the problem. Follow the steps above to see if your AirPods will charge after you’ve tried updating the firmware.

Solution 6: Reset AirPods

 If nothing else works, try turning your AirPods off and on again. If the AirPods or the case won’t charge because of a bug in the software, a simple reset might fix the problem.

Here’s how to turn the AirPods on again.

• Make sure that the case is on your AirPods.

• Open the Settings app and then select Bluetooth.

• Find your AirPods in the list of paired devices and press the I button on the right.

• Tap “Forget about this Device.”

• Open the case near your iPhone when you’re ready to use your AirPods again.

• You’ll get a message on your iPhone, telling you to connect the Airpods.

Can I change out just one AirPod?

Apple knows this, so it has a plan for what to do in this case. You can buy a new AirPod or charging case for $69 if you lose one.

You can buy a left or right AirPod replacement or the Charging Case. Your new partner will be brand-new. AirPods are not covered by AppleCare+ for Headphones if they are lost or stolen.

Conclusion

If nothing else works, you will have to call an expert or an Apple genius. This is never a good situation, but sometimes technology fails and we can’t help it no matter how well we treated the product.

Even so, you should always look for yourself to see if there are any easy fixes before paying a guy to tell you that you need a different charging cable.
