My AirPods wont turn on and connect

My AirPods wont turn on and connect, I’ve tried charging them and they won’t charge. These are new AirPods, I’ve got them since Christmas and this is the first time it happens with them. I’ve even reset my phone to see if they would work but they didn’t and now I not sure what to do

Troubleshooting AirPods Power Draining:


A. Start with a Reset:

Go Here: Reset your AirPods - Apple Support


B. A Few Links to Visit:





C. Try the Following Tasks:

  • Hold Down the Button on the case for about 15 seconds.


  • Use an Apple Brand Cable - not a third party one - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple)


  • Remove the AirPod from the Case, then place it back in the charger. Perhaps it need to resync with he charger.
