If your AirPods have a blinking amber light, don't worry. Here's how to fix it. Have your AirPods or AirPods Pro suddenly stopped working properly?
Maybe the left or right earbud has stopped connecting to your device. Or maybe the light inside the charging case is flashing orange? Don't worry, you are not alone and thankfully the solution is quite simple.
The color of the light inside the AirPods Charging Case (or outside the AirPods Pro and AirPods Wireless Charging Cases) indicates its status.
As you may have noticed, the LEDs on the AirPods don't always blink the same color. They can be solid green or solid orange and can blink white or orange.
If your AirPods are solid green, it means the battery has plenty of charge. If they are solid orange, it means you have less than a full charge.
If the light flashes white, the device is ready for setup. On the other hand, if it flashes orange, it means you need to set up your AirPods again. Don't worry, the installation process is a breeze.
