Case not working. Only when charging

Case not working. Only when charging

My airpods case does not light up when I open the case. But if a put a charger in the light flashes white really fast. And my airpods is on right now and I don't know how to turn they off. Because my case doesn't do anything

ANSWERS:

My airpods have a orange light when they are charging but when i try to use them the light turns off and they won’t connect. I recently dropped my AirPods case and it has a scratch on it but I don’t think it’s that. Any tips?
