Left AirPod won't charge in the case

Right AirPod charges fine, the left one sits at 0% even after hours in the case. Cleaned the contacts with a dry cotton bud. Is there anything else to try before I pay for a replacement?

nine times out of ten it's muck on the contacts. bottom of the stem and the little pins at the bottom of that slot in the case - earwax and pocket fluff. dry cotton bud or a wooden toothpick, gently. if they're clean and it still won't charge, both in, lid open, hold the button on the back until the light flashes amber then white, and pair them again.
