I have AirPods Pro, and I want to connect them to my iPhone, but when I try to do all the steps to restart the AirPods or be able to pair them, it just flashes orange and they beeps. I haven't been able to make the white light appear, I need help please

If you have AirPods Pro 1 or 2, the light should flash amber, then white after holding the button on the back for about 15 seconds.


Try charging the case for 15–20 minutes, then put both AirPods inside, open the lid, and hold the back button again until you get the white flashing light. If it still only flashes amber and beeps, the case may need service.
