Today, I pop in my 1st gen AirPods Pro, and one of the earbuds does nothing. I try things, long story short, I'm literally walking near an Apple Store and turn back to take my non-functioning bud in to see if they can fix it.
Nice Genius Bar guy tests it and says my case battery is toast! My case? Not the bud? No. The case. Each bud showed about 80% charge, but this case is done. This all happened so fast.
So I'm here now for a few reasons:
1. If this happens to you, a workaround is to plug in your case while you connect the earbuds to your phone (or whatever) and pop them into your ears. Then you can unplug the case, and both buds will (and did) work.
2. This happened literally on the day the new APP went on sale $50 off. So, that's lucky.
3. I got so caught up in discussing my options, I forgot to ask how to properly charge my next APP case. I've read lots about phone batteries (and we can pay to change out those), but apparently I can only replace the whole case here (at $90), so I want to treat my next case better. Any advice?
