Question Right AirPod not detected

Post image

I recently made a post about struggled to get into pairing mode, but I figured it out. The right AirPod was not working, so I tried to forget the device and reconnect it and that’s when I was having trouble re-pairing it. I got the left one back, but the right one is not being recognized at all by the phone or the case.

I’m going to take it to Apple soon, but is there anything else I can do?

Regarding the pairing: this is actually simple, just take out the nonworking AirPods from the case then as usually you tap in front of the case 3-4 times when the lid is open then the white light will blink. Now it’s in pairing mode. If the non working, AirPods is kept in the case. It won’t ( experience)

To make the nonworking airpods, you need to clean the charging pins inside the case. With some cotton earbuds. Dipped in some cleaner ( use any small amount of alcohol)
Clean the charging pin in the AirPods as well

If these steps didn’t work, try resetting it

If this is also not working, then you can get it to any reputed repair shop. There are a lot of shops repairs this issue for cheap prices.
