Dealing with the annoyance of one AirPod not working? I understand the frustration firsthand. But fear not! I’ve conquered this challenge and found a solution that worked wonders for me. Today, I’m excited to share my personal experience, equipping you with a fix for those moments when you encounter the stubbornness of a single non-functioning AirPod.
When only one AirPod connects
Initially, I encountered an issue where my left AirPod failed to connect via Bluetooth, while my iPhone displayed a battery level of 19% for the left earpiece. In contrast, the right AirPod operated flawlessly with a battery level of 50%. To troubleshoot, I placed both earpieces in the case, expecting them to charge to 100%. However, to my surprise, the left AirPod remained at 19% without any apparent explanation. Furthermore, I noticed that the AirPod status card did not appear on my iPhone when I opened the AirPod case near the phone.
Despite feeling disappointed with my initial troubleshooting attempt, I decided to try another approach. And to my delight, it worked like a charm!
How to fix one AirPod not working
While I cannot guarantee universal success, this solution worked for me and may be worth a try:
- Remove both AirPod earpieces from the case.
- Place them on a nearby table.
- Allow the case and earpieces to sit undisturbed until all batteries have completely drained. (Do not skip this step.)
- Put both earpieces back in the case and ensure everything is fully charged to 100%.
- Now, test both earpieces to see if they are functioning properly.
- You should now be back in action and ready to enjoy your AirPods again!
By following these steps, you increase the likelihood of resolving the issue. Remember, individual experiences may vary, but this approach worked for me and may work for you as well.
