What to Do If Powerbeats Pro Won’t Charge in Case

What to Do If Powerbeats Pro Won’t Charge in Case

December 24, 2021 by Madalina Dinita 12 Comments

Your Powerbeats Pro may sometimes fail to charge. Although your phone says the earbuds are charging, the charge percent doesn’t actually increase. If you’re experiencing similar issues, make sure the earbuds are correctly seated in the charging case. Otherwise, they won’t connect to the charging pins. If you’re still unable to charge your Powerbeats Pro, follow the troubleshooting steps below.

How to Fix Powerbeats Pro That Won’t Charge

Use Another Power Source

Power outlet

Connect the charging case to a different power source and check if the issue persists. If something’s wrong with the power source, using another source should fix it. Additionally, try using a different cable and check if you notice any improvements. Make sure the cable is not frayed or faulty.

Clean the Earbuds and Leave the Case Open

Visually inspect your earbuds and make sure that they’re completely dry. Remove any specks of dust or dirt from the charging case. You can use a dry Q-tip to clean your earbuds.

Could This Be a Design Flaw?

Many users are convinced the charging problems are caused by a hardware design flaw. Frequently, one earbud gets knocked off the charging pins when you close the lid. This is because the ear hook of the other earbud overlaps its ear hook pulling it out from its charging connectors.

You can leave the case open while charging your earbuds as a workaround. Closing the case may sometimes jostle the earbuds enough to pop them out of the charging connectors.

Reset Your EarBuds

Try resetting your earbuds and check if this solution solves the problem.

  1. Place your earbuds in the case.
  2. Leave the case open, don’t close it.
  3. Then, press and hold the system button until the LED light flashes red and white.
  4. You can now release the system button.

Don’t pair your earbuds to your device just yet. Connect the charging cable, and wait for 15 minutes. Then pair your devices and check if your earbuds are charging correctly.

Have Your Earbuds Repaired

If the battery charge percentage still doesn’t increase, you may need your earbuds serviced. If your Powerbeats Pro were purchased within the last year, they should be within the warranty period.

On the other hand, if you’ve had your earbuds for more than one year and they’re not covered by Apple Care+, you may need to pay up to $99 to have them serviced. For more information, visit Apple’s Support pages:

Conclusion

If your Powerbeats Pro won’t charge, use another power source and clean your earbuds. Leave the case open while charging your earbuds. The ear hook of one of the earbuds may sometimes overlap the other earbud’s ear hook pulling it out of its charging pins. If the issue persists, reset your earbuds and have them repaired.

    I have been having the same issue however resetting my Powerbeats has resolved it – they are both now charging fine. I did this by forgetting device and then pressing down the home button on the case until it flashes red and white. I waited 15 mins and then reconnected and they were charging ✅

    Really interesting to read comments, mine the same : the right bud is always at 0% with the case at 100% and the left one either fully charged or 60%. Really frustrating. Hoping to get repaired/replaced.

    I JUST opened my power beats two days ago although I purchased about 6 months ago. I cannot get them to pair or charge. When I plug it in the light stays red (never changed to white to show it’s done) and when I hold the button down to pair nothing lights up. Ever. HELP PLEASE!!!

    Have tried all the solutions to the issues to my earbuds not charging none of them work have not used them very often maybe 10 times at the most. Exceptionally disappointed with these their performance has been poor at best I would not recommend them to anyone.

    I tried a lot of things including making sure that the earbuds were actually touching the sensors and then closing the lid carefully to make sure the earbuds weren’t jostled. Cleaned the case and the earbuds. Restarted them. Still I would go to the put them on and the left one would often be dead. So I opened a repair ticket and before I put them in the box I took the tips off and the earbuds clicked into the case just like they should. As long as the tips aren’t on when I want to charge them I’m having no issues. I don’t think that you should need to do that but at least they work.
