Here I will share various methods to fix the Onn earbuds not charging problem. I’m sure this guide will be helpful for you.

1. Insert The Earbuds Properly

The design of Onn earbuds is a bit complex, and they won’t easily fit in the case. So, while placing them in the case, you must take extra care to ensure that you’ve placed left and right earbuds in the appropriate cavity.

If you inspect your Onn wireless earbuds, you’ll find two small metal pins on the tip of the earbuds. These metal pins connect with the charging pins in the case.

Due to the regular use of earbuds, a layer of wax (oil and dirt) is formed around the metal contacts. Because of wax buildup, electric current doesn’t flow from the case to the earbuds.

I had this problem with my Onn earbuds and cleaned the metal contacts with isopropyl alcohol, a toothpick, and a microfibre cloth. After cleaning the metal contacts, my left Onn earbuds started charging.

Note– Generally, the wax buildup is transparent and isn’t visible. So, you should break the wax buildup with isopropyl alcohol and a toothpick, then wipe everything with a microfiber cloth.
