Airport Express Not Working
« on: 29 Dec 2008, 04:54 pm »
Hi there, was wondering if anyone has had an issue with the Airport Express not working.
Mine all of the sudden is dead.  The light does not go on when plugged into the wall, with or without the lan line connected.
I've tried resetting it by pressing the "reset" button.  tried unplugging and replugging...
nothing works...

It sounds like you need a new router.  This is a somewhat common issue (Fairchild Power Switch failure) with the AE which has upset many, many folks.

An example of complaints can be found here ... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=222954

Here is a pic of the inside of the unit showing the bad switch, and a little info too ......... http://hardmac.com/news/2006-11-17/#6139

Mark, thanks...
It seems that this is the problem...
The links are great, but it looks like a lot of work to repair this when you can buy a new one, perhaps, that's what I'll do, once I am secure in my job.... :scratch:
Well, thanks, problem sovled, new APX needed.
