Hello everyone,
I have AirPods Pro 2 with the MagSafe Charging Case (USB-C).
My left AirPod has suddenly stopped working and is not charging. Unfortunately, my coverage expired just last week. 😞
Here is what I'm seeing:
- ✅ Charging case is working normally.
- ✅ Right AirPod is working normally.
- ✅ Case battery level is displayed correctly.
- ✅ Right AirPod battery level is displayed correctly.
- ❌ Left AirPod does not show any battery percentage or status.
- ❌ On both my iPhone and Mac, the Left AirPod is completely blank/not detected.
- I left the AirPod unused for more than 2 weeks before this happened.
- I cleaned the charging contacts and tried reseating the AirPod.
- I also charged the case with a USB-C wall adapter for around 30 minutes, with only the left AirPod inside, but there was no change.
- I tried resetting the AirPods, but I could not get the case to enter the flashing white pairing/reset state.
I also checked through macOS Terminal:
AirPods Pro - Find My:
Case Battery Level: 94%
Right Battery Level: 100%
Serial Number (Left): XXXXX
Serial Number (Right): XXXXX
There is no "Left Battery Level" reported at all.
So it seems the left AirPod isn't communicating/powering up rather than simply having a speaker issue.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Are there any safe tricks or recovery procedures I can try to bring the left AirPod back to life, especially after being unused for a couple of weeks?
Or does this symptom usually mean the left AirPod battery/power circuit has failed and needs replacement?
I'm hoping to avoid spending a lot on a replacement if there is still something I can try at home.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Thank you!
