Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1 Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your laptop.
    You won't see your AirPods in the "Available Devices" list if you have Bluetooth disabled.[6]
    • If Bluetooth is already on, try turning it off and back on again while your AirPods case is closed.
  2. Step 2 Check if your Bluetooth driver is out of date.
    If it's out of date, you might have issues connecting to your AirPods including an unreliable connection that randomly disconnects. Update your Bluetooth driver, and try again.[7]
  3. Step 3 Try to connect to other Bluetooth headphones.
    Doing this will text if the Bluetooth on your laptop is the issue or if the problem lies elsewhere. If different headphones connect reliably, the AirPods are most likely the problem.
  4. Step 4 Make sure your AirPods are in Pairing Mode.
    Put them in Pairing Mode by pressing and holding the only button on the AirPods case with the lid open. Release the button when you see the LED flash white (the light is either on the front or inside your case).[8]
  5. Step 5 Ensure that your AirPods have a charge.
    Once you place the case on a charging mat or use a charger, the LED should indicate the charge level of your AirPods (an amber light means they are charging and a green light indicates that they have a full charge).[9]
