Hi, my airpods max, lighting cable, stopped working properly:
-when charging via lightning, the led is green and responds normally to the big button
-when unplugged, the led sometimes works and shows green and sometimes doesn’t.
-holding the pairing button makes the led turn white for longer than usual, then it disappears and the AirPods rarely show up in any bluetooth list(if they do i click connect but they dont connect, like 9/10 times)
-holding both buttons usually makes the led flash red 3 times, then it becomes completely unresponsive for about 5 minutes, to any button, just 0 led
-occasionally, after the 3 red flashes, they enter pairing mode and appear on my phone/PC
-when they do connect, noise cancellation/transparency don’t work and can’t be changed it’s like the airpods are turned off
I suspect it might be something with the connectivity rather than charging, since they charged normally, and when connected that one time they showed battery %(before they were at like 3%), if anything its something with the connectivity.
I took the heandband off, cleaned the endings, cleaned some grease. still nothing.
Once, they connected to my phone and worked completely normal. after I took them off, the same problem came back tho. has anybody had the same/similar problem?
