You could have dirty contacts that are making it impossible for the AirPods to connect with the charging case, there could be something blocking your case’s charging port, meaning it’s actually the problem, or there could be software issues at play. You may even find that something simple like a dead AirPods case is the issue.

When Nothing Else Works
If you’ve tried everything and you can’t get your AirPods or your AirPod case to charge, you do have the option to replace either of the AirPods or the charging case. If your AirPods are still under warranty, Apple may replace the part that’s not working. If they are not still under warranty, one option is to try PodSwap, a service specifically to replace dead AirPods. Take the cable out and reseat it to see if your charging light comes on. If not, try using a different cable. Or, if you’re charging wirelessly, try using a wired charging connection.
