My right AirPod doesn’t work again and I can’t see the icon on my widget too, but the left AirPod works perfectly fine. Whenever I put the right AirPod in the charging case the green light starts blinking.

AirPods 2019: Dropped AirPod in oil?

I dropped one of my AirPods in a dish of olive, baby, and coconut oil. Fully submerged. I got it out as soon as I could and now it’s in rice. I don’t know if that will do anything, but I didn’t know what else to do! I don’t know if it still works or how well it works, any ideas as to what I should do next? Help! These are a month old!

AirPods 2019: Can I fix these airpods?

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 11:11:28 -0700

My dog just bit my left airpod (crying). It’s now producing low quality sound and with low volume below 180 Hz, above this range it works perfect. I think it could be something to do with the airflow for bass. Do you think could fix or improve this somehow? Besides the hardware fix I was thinking if there is any app that prevents only the left airpod from playing frequencies lower than 180Hz, this would greatly help me. The airpods are not covered by warranty anymore.

AirPods 2019: Can I clean the case with ultrasonic cleaner?

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 23:54:30 -0700

I already have an ultrasonic cleaner, I know the speakers are sensitive to the cleaner, so I will do that manually, but the case is dirty too, and has some rust or metallic dirt ( I guess, it is only visible on those spots)over the magnets, which are really hard to remove ( I tried but It made only a little difference) so I thought that I could use the ultrasonic cleaner with soap like chemical and deep clean it, then submerge it in alcohol to remove most of the water and let it dry for a day or so. I am pretty new at cleaning electronics with an ultrasonic cleaner .

AirPods 2019: Are my airpods fixable after this or will I just have to buy new ones?

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 09:21:00 -0700

Hi, so my problem is my airpod gen 2s are kinda being funky.

So for about a year or 2 now they will connect like normal not too many issues there* but the earbuds themselves will die off fast like it feels as if as soon as I put one in I'm already putting the other cuz it died.

I just assumed maybe the airpod case I had was the issue so I tried resetting them and completely abandoning the idea of having a case. Since it was more for looks rather protection, since I take care of my devices well other then one incident where my sibling dropped an airpod into the sink while I was doing dishes but it was brief contact with water.

With that being said I've had them for about 6 years give or take and I used them everyday with maybe about a year n a half to 2 years of not using them so they are in fairly good condition.

*But for some reason it seems to hate my laptop (Chromebook not sure what model) it will connect to it and then disconnects immediately its odd I'm not too sure why that is I've tried resetting the airpods then too as well as the bluetooth and I've even taken the device off my laptop to reconnect it but still to no avail

So in other words I would really like some help with this odd occurrence it tends to get frustrating like being in calls or listening to music while doing things and then having to stop what I'm doing because they decide to act up so I'm looking for the most like inexpensive solution if possible since I can't afford any replacements. please and thank you!
