    Good morning,
    As in the topic, new xiaomi headphones. The law does not turn on, bluetoth cannot see it. Generally, the sound is heard only from the left. There is also no diode visible. How to fix it?

    It is not charging, maybe it is discharged? If it doesn't move, advertise.

    Try to press the earpiece gently into the case, see if it works. Also check the contacts, what are they on the handset, and if they are not dirty.

    I have the same problem.
    The headphones worked for two weeks and the law suddenly stopped working.
    Not charging, no response to the button (I tried restarting the handset).

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I found a way to do it :) I need a universal meter, exactly an ohmmeter (turn on the measurement of the diode and connections with the biper) touch the contacts in the dead earpiece in two directions (once plus at the top, second time plus at the bottom - like a diode measurement), it revives these Airdots every time. :)

    The design defect of the box is that where the rubber bands are, it is too deep and this causes that the magnesium contained therein pulls them down too much, making the contacts not stick together, bulge put one non-working handset into the housing and you will hear a short circuit and this causes a not working handset, it is enough to fix the manufacturer and put a piece of tissue or paper inside so that they are not tilted forward, sorry for the ortho, but I did not want to improve

    In my case, it does nothing. Headphones, despite the fact that they are well charged, sometimes lose the ability to turn on one of them. It upsets me terribly. Fortunately, while measuring whether it is being charged, I discovered the described mike with an ohmmeter. They last sometimes for a month and block, sometimes after a few days. I have suspicions that if someone close by, also with such headphones turned on, they get light obscurity. Well, but for months I have been "unscrewing" it with the ohmmeter method and it's ok :) It is a pity that when the handset stops working sometimes, I do not have an ohmmeter with me :) . best regards.

    Connect the charging case and hold the multifunctional button for 2 minutes or until they start working, and if not, service and complaint or call the Xiaomi hotline at 575 228 666 or 800 111 332.

    Actually. The battery from the meter creates an additional voltage spike on the handset, which suddenly revives it. Something like a "deadline" battery, where the voltage drops below the critical value and it cannot be charged anymore until we heat it up or kick it with another voltage source.
    I wonder why this is happening. I have two theories.
    o One of the headphones is extremely discharged (and the phone shows 100% of the other one anyway), because it does not connect the pins well in the box and after a few minutes of use it simply drops to 0% (below the voltage, where it cannot be charged).
    o The headphones are blocked due to interference from similar headphones in the vicinity.

    1 option is more likely. If someone does not have a meter, I recommend connecting it to, for example, a mi band charger (this bracelet) - for a moment or put it in a warm place, on a power supply or somewhere a radiator or stove.

    Take them out of the case for a dozen or so seconds and let them flash, then turn on the Bluetooth on your phone and pair them, it helped me

FAQ

TL;DR: Users report 100% success reviving a "dead" Redmi AirDots earbud with a multimeter’s diode‑test: "It revives these Airdots every time." [Elektroda, Nandish, post #19378197]

Why it matters: If one Xiaomi Redmi AirDots earphone won’t power on, is invisible over Bluetooth, or shows no LED, these field‑tested fixes restore audio fast for owners facing exactly those issues.

Quick Facts

How do I fix a Redmi AirDots earbud that won’t turn on or show an LED?

Start by ensuring it charges. Gently press the earbud into the case so the spring pins touch. Inspect the gold contacts on the earbud and case. If you see dirt, clean it and reseat the earbud. No contact means no charging and no LED. Leave it on charge for several minutes, then test again. [Elektroda, staś pytalski, post #18828718]

What’s the 2‑minute reset for the charging case?

Plug the charging case into power. Hold the multifunction button for around two minutes, or until the earbuds respond. This long hold acts as a deep reset for the set. Quote: "Hold the multifunctional button for 2 minutes." If nothing changes, pursue service and complaint channels or call Xiaomi support. [Elektroda, Jakubzieleniecki1, post #19686500]

How do I use a multimeter to revive a “dead” earbud?

Use the meter’s diode/continuity mode to apply a tiny kick, then charge immediately. How‑To: 1. Set the meter to diode/continuity (beeper). 2. Touch the two charging contacts for ~1 second, reverse probes, touch again. 3. Place the earbud in the case to charge. Users report this wakes the protection circuit: “It revives these Airdots every time.” [Elektroda, Nandish, post #19378197]

Is the multimeter “diode‑test” kick safe, and why does it work?

Community explains the meter’s internal battery creates a tiny voltage spike that wakes a protected cell. Use brief touches only and avoid prolonged contact. Quote: "The battery from the meter creates an additional voltage spike... which suddenly revives it." If you’re unsure, skip this and consider official service paths. [Elektroda, Bambus3k, post #19761425]

I don’t have a multimeter—what can I try instead?

Briefly connect the earbud contacts to a Mi Band charger to nudge voltage. Another option is warming the earbud in a warm place for a short time. Both aim to lift the cell above its protection threshold. Use care and avoid heat damage. [Elektroda, Bambus3k, post #19761425]

Why does an earbud only charge when I push it down in the case?

A case-depth quirk can tilt the earbud so pins miss the pads. The magnets may pull it forward, breaking contact. Add a small paper or tissue shim under the tip to level it. This restores contact and avoids shorting noises on insertion. It’s a reversible, $0 fix. [Elektroda, Anonim123x12, post #19486544]

Bluetooth can’t see one Redmi AirDots earbud—how do I pair both again?

Remove both earbuds from the case and wait until they flash. The user described letting them flash for “a dozen or so seconds.” Enable Bluetooth on your phone and pair while they flash. This forces a fresh pairing window and restores visibility. [Elektroda, lechu18102002, post #20471156]

Could nearby Airdots cause one bud to stop turning on?

One member suspects nearby identical sets can interfere and block startup. Keep distance from other Airdots while resetting or pairing. “They last sometimes for a month and block, sometimes after a few days.” If it returns, repeat the revive steps when possible. [Elektroda, Nandish, post #19488327]

My right earbud died after two weeks. Is it defective?

A user reported the right earbud stopped working after two weeks. They saw no charging and no response to the button. Try the reset, contact cleaning, and revive steps first. If nothing changes, consider the warranty route in the next answer. [Elektroda, Fiołek_84, post #19172080]

When should I use warranty or file a complaint?

If an earbud won’t charge, won’t power on, and stays unresponsive after checks, use the warranty. As one member put it, “If it doesn’t move, advertise,” i.e., file a complaint. This is the recommended path when hardware won’t recover. [Elektroda, badboy84, post #18827732]

The LEDs are off, but only the left ear plays—what does that mean?

This indicates the other earbud is off or uncharged. The reported symptom was audio only from the left, with no diode visible on the right. Address charging first by reseating and cleaning contacts. Then try a case reset or the multimeter revive method. [Elektroda, ziarnozniszczenia, post #18827683]

How should I clean Redmi AirDots charging contacts?

Inspect both the earbud and case contacts for debris. Wipe gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid liquids and abrasion. Reseat the earbud and check if the LED lights and charging starts. Poor contact was highlighted as a cause of no charging. [Elektroda, staś pytalski, post #18828718]

What Xiaomi support options exist if fixes fail?

Call Xiaomi hotline 575 228 666 or 800 111 332 for service or complaint handling. Share your troubleshooting steps and purchase details. They can advise on repair or replacement next steps. [Elektroda, Jakubzieleniecki1, post #19686500]
