My AirPods are flashing orange and will not charge with the cable it came with. When I hold the back set up button in, it doesn’t go white.

If your AirPods are flashing orange and not charging, it typically indicates an issue with the battery or the charging case. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the charging cable and power source: Ensure that the charging cable is not damaged and properly connected to a functional power source. You can try using a different cable or power adapter to eliminate any potential issues.

2. Clean the charging connectors: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the charging connectors on both the AirPods and the charging case. Ensure there is no debris or dirt obstructing the charging process.

3. Restart your devices: Disconnect the AirPods from any devices they are paired with, and then restart both the AirPods and the device you are trying to connect them to. After restarting, attempt to charge the AirPods again.

4. Reset the AirPods: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you can try resetting your AirPods by following these steps:

- Place the AirPods in the charging case.

- Open the lid of the charging case.

- Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light starts flashing amber.

- Release the setup button and then close the lid.

- Try charging the AirPods again and see if the issue is resolved.

5. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps work, it's best to reach out to Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific guidance or arrange for repair or replacement if necessary.

Remember, the flashing orange light on your AirPods generally indicates a charging issue, so it's important to address the problem as soon as possible to ensure the proper functioning of your AirPods.
