Fix: Nothing Ear Case Not Charging

In the official Nothing Ear consumer forums and online discussion portals such as Reddit, users have expressed their concern over the not charging issues multiple times. If you’re facing similar issues, then follow the below troubleshooting methods.

Method 1: Clean Connector Pins

Each wireless Bluetooth buds have a charging mechanism which comes with metal connector pins. These pins easily allow the case to charge your buds whenever you’re not using them. Ideally, it sounds, but in some cases, these connector pins may get corrosion or other dust particles stick to them.

In such a case, you have to clean these connector pins first. You can clean them using a microfiber cloth or a cotton bud dissolved in a cleaning solution.

Method 2: Clean Case Charging Port

Just like connector pins, it’s quite possible that the charging port of the case is itself not clean. When the case charging port is not clean, the case will not change or will charge very slowly.

So take a microfiber cloth or a cotton bud dissolved in a cleaning solution and clean the charging port.

Method 3: Try Other Charging Cables & Adapter

Nothing Ear comes with a special failsafe mechanism in the charging case so it does not get overcharged. This means that if you connect the case with a charging cable with high Ampere, then it will not charge.
