AE won't soft/hard/factory reset after WDS

Hi,
I can't get my Airport Express to reset no matter what method I try: pushing the reset button down (soft), holding it down for 5 or 10 seconds (hard), or holding it down while plugging the unit in (factory). Nothing works; it just blinks slow amber no matter what I do.
The AE doesn't show up as a network to log onto and it doesn't show up in the Airport utility, even if I'm plugged in via ethernet cable. I can't even see it when I use a third-party wireless scanner like AirRadar. So I'm not sure what firmware it's running.
The background: I had the AE set up as a WDS bridge to the Netgear where I used to live and don't have access to now. I think this means the AE is constantly trying to log back on to its old friend the Netgear, so the AE isn't even putting out it's own signal for the Airport Utility to see. That's my theory at least.
I don't really hear the famous "audible click" when I hold down the reset button, but I'm holding it down very firmly with a paper clip. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear 'em... please help!
thanks
Lucas

I've got the same problem. It's like the Express is outmoded. It worked fine until I installed the latest version of OS10 and now the Airport Setup won't recognize the Express.

  • Hard factory reset and my findings

    Alright...I decided to do a hard reset on my phone after having a few issues with froyo.  I had TK taskiller installed previous to doing a hard reset.  The two biggest issues I had was my texting seem to lag when I was texting.  Like it couldnt keep up.  The other issue was my batter would go from 100% to like 86% within an hour of little to no use.
    I performed a hard rest. (powered off phone, press the down volume and press the power button, select clear storage.)  This complete resets phone,  even had to reactivate the phone.
    Charged phone all night as usual.  Had it turned off while charging throught he night, as usual.  Battery was still at 100% even after an hour.  Phone was at 86% at 2pm.  I took it off the charger at 7am, mind you.  Also I did not reinstall my app killer after hard resetting but I did reinstall all apps the I previously had.  I exported contacts to sd card before resetting so all I had to do was import them back to phone after reset.  There is no longer any lag in my text usage.
    My findings....battery performance has definitely increased, in fact it is almost 9pm and batter is at 76%.  This is an extended battery, mind you, but...it was the same battery that was below 50% at this time before the reset.
    In summary, the small issue with texting has been resolved and my battery is definitely lasting longer.  As to why the battery lasts longer, wether it was due to reset or just not having app killer, I do not know.  So yeah....hard reset and no app killer worked great for me!

    I also did a hard factory reset.  I was using the 3500 extended battery, and after the upgrade to 2.2, what used to be 6 days on a single charge was reduced to only 2 days.  So, I did the hard factory reset.  I DID NOT find that to be helpful with the battery usage.
    But, what I did find is that if I leave my WiFi turned on, the battery drains much more quickly than if I shut it off and only turn it on when needed.  However, this was not a problem under 2.1.  I left the WiFi on all the time.

  • Spontaneous hard factory reset

    Two days ago, I turned on my iPad to play a little GodFinger. I found that the "Connect to laptop" starting screen was on. I figured this was some way Apple had of forcing customers to take an update for security reasons or some such. Imagine my shock when I found out that this was a spontaneous hard factory reset. I have to take a sync from 6 weeks ago and reset from there. I'm furious. I cannot believe that I'm alone with this symptom. Has anyone else suffered this?
    Curious,
    Matthew

    Just back from vacation in Arizona, where I bought the iPad2.
    Had it now for 2 weeks, everything fabulous.
    Updated to OS ver 4.3.1 yesterday.
    Downloaded various apps, incl. Numbers etc.; keeping them in 6 folders, so that all are accessible from main home screen.
    THEN DISASTER:
    (sorry if longwinded, but I want to give as much background as possible - I don't want to hard-reset if at all possible!)
    A couple of hours ago I created various test emails on the Mac, each with a different file attached, e.g. jpg, txt, doc, pdf, xls etc. and sent them out.
    Then, from the iPad, I looked at these emails in 'Mail'.
    They all opened ok, and apart from an wmv video file I could open all of them.
    While in Mail and looking at one of the files, pdf I believe, things went wrong.
    I could not get out of the viewing screen back to the mail box menu.
    Pressing the Home button got me back to the Home screen.
    Touching Mail icon brought the 'frozen' file view again.
    So I pressed the 'Off' button. Screen went blank and the little rotating whirl appeared in the screen's centre.
    AND THATS THAT !!
    It has been whirling now for over an hour. Pressing either Home or Off button, even for 10 seconds or more, does not change anything.
    I then connected the iPad to the Mac.
    iTunes gave error code 0xE8000065 and ''connected iPhone can't be read...''
    So now I have plugged the iPad into the mains, via the power cord, so as not to run out of battery charge.
    Tomorrow (UK time) I shall call Apple Care.
    Any thoughts???

  • Factory reset after power off

    I use Cisco switch sg300-28. When i turn it off and turn on, it reset to factory reset include login password, dose it normal operation or I miss anything?
    Thank you.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

    Hello Jerry, the SX300 series switches have a running configuration and a start up configuration. For the switch to retain settings, you must save the running config to the startup otherwise all settings will be lost.
    After making a change there is a blinking save icon on the top right. You may click this and follow the windows. In addition, you can go to Admin -> File Managemenet -> Copy File and save there as well.

  • How can I restore my iphone back to factory reset after it has been disabled from trying so many times to unlocked with the wrong passcode?

    My son had place a passcode and don't remember it and he try so many times to unlocked the phone but since he did it so many times and it was the wrong passcode the phone now is disabled, How can I get it to work again?

    Well, the level of pain you are about to experience will hinge on what level of backup you have of the phone. If none, you will soon have a blank, from-factory phone you will have to reconfigure from scratch.

  • X220 Factory Reset - After Upgrade to Win 8 Professional

    Greetings All!
    I purchased X220 Lenevo tablet one and half year back. It shipped with Windows 7 Professional. In June 2013 I purchased Windows 8 Professional and upgraded my system from Windows 7 professional to Windows 8 professional. 
    I keen to revert to Windows 7 Professional for several good reason but am unable to do the same. When I pressed the F11 key at the begining, Windows is not doing anything. I tried with think Vantage button but still no luck.
    Beside this, several applications which has been shipped with tablet is not working as well. Not sure, what could be the reason behind the same.
    I neither format the system nor delete the recovery drive which shipped with the product.
    Please advise.
    With Thanks!
    Shyam

    if you're trying to change the default boot, the thinkvantage or the the f12 button should do it.
    when you turn your computer on, press both repeatedly, you're probably missing the time slot because windows 8 boots so much faster than 7 (and has quickboot enabled by default)
    windows 8 can't disable your bios in any way so the boot select is just a matter of speed.
    best of luck!

  • No audio, after factory reset,flash install,SoundMax & HDA audio drivers won't install

    My problems are:
    No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself
    SoundMax won't install either though I downloaded HDA audio drivers it requested.
    Flash download stuffed up my SoundMax after factory reset.
    I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starting slowing down. After reset it (Youtube) kind of worked better
    then the audio disappeared from the laptop. The drivers, SoundMax Audio was gone (greyed out).
    I downloaded the Audio driver from Lenovo website for my X31 but SoundMax install wouldn't install because it kept saying HDA Audio drivers weren't installed.
    I downloaded it from here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072373
    So I went to HP site to download HDA audio drivers, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I had sound on my computer.
    HDA Audio drivers link at HP website (since Lenovo doesn't have it):
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?cc=US&lang=en&swItem...
    When I downloaded latest Adobe Flash, the SoundMax Audio disappeared again. So at the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox keeps telling me to download Flash?)
    No sound on IE as well.
    Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
    I'm using:
    ThinkPad X31 (2673-QU6)
    Based on 2673-N7G

    Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Your iPad will reboot on its own. You will have to enter all of the device settings again, but no data will be lost.
    I eould not spend a whole lot more time trying to fix this, if the device is really brand new. I would take it back to where you bought it, bring the box, the charger, the cable and your receipt and if they can't get it fixed, return it and get another one.

  • Problem with factory resetting Airport Express

    I am trying to do a hard factory reset my airport express. I want to reset it to the factory default so that I can change the settings so that it connects to my comcast wirless modem. I followed the instructions on the apple support site. I held the reset button will the device was unplugged and then plugged it in while still holding the reset button. I held it until the green light flashed four times. But the stupid thing will not reset at all. Just the same blinking orange light. No green light. And of course, non identifiable on airport admin utility. This is really frustrating. Anyone know how to solve this problem.
    Thanks

    I have the exact problem described by AKAPLG. I've tried EVERYTHING with no good result.
    - My network does NOT show up in AirPort Utility (and even the old Airport Admin Utility)
    - Even after hard reset I can still see the old name of my network but am still unable to join it.
    - I've tried connecting directly with Ethernet to my MacBook Pro, but it is unclear what I'm supposed to do next, the manual doesn't mention this at all. When it's connected I do not see my AX in the AirPort Utility menu when I rescan.
    - The "Factory Reset" described by the booklet that came with the 802.11n device is inconsistent with what I see when I try it. I get a single green blink followed by a long solid yellow (sorry Amber) followed by blinking amber. I never see 4 green blinks, as described.
    This is the worst Apple experience I've ever had. Period. Any more advice please before I take this POS back to the store and trade it for a punch in the ribs or a hot stick shoved in my eye?

  • K1: apps are forced close + can't connect to internet + can't factory reset

    All of a sudden, my ideapad K1 keep poping up messages saying that **** has stopped unexpectedly and force close. 
    I try to upgrade the fireware while realize there is no wifi connect (the wifi works well on my other devices).
    After trying tons of method, including calling the customer service who seems cares nothing and only ask me to do a factory reset. I eventually decieded to do the most stupid fix -- factory reset while told that "com.android.setting" has stopped unexpectedly and exits. 
    I try to delete the application one by one and after reboot, all the applications are still there.
    So basically I can't do nothing change.
    Any one has any idea how to solve the problem or how can I do a hard factory reset? Thanks in advance.
    BTW: why my panel for this community is in Espanol even though I set it to English?
    Solved!

    This might help in this situation, 
    As I mentioned in another post, if you start having forced closes or any other abnormal behaviour on your tablet or phone etc. shut it down completly and start it again. If that does not help go to settings and open up the applications box, and then open up "Manage applications". Choose "Running" and look at the applicatiions that are using the most memory. some of them are necessary, but others are not. If you see an application running that you never use, go back to "All" and delete the offending application. This should free up more memory, making your tablet more stable.... Hope this helps....
    And if you can't shut down the tablet, let it run without charger until the battery runs down and it shuts off that way. Then charge the battery and try starting it again....
    I have had my tablet since late october 2011 and have had no problems except if I try to set the brightness on auto. Just leave it on manual and go from there.

  • Keyboard (hardware & onscreen) suddenly don't work anymore - only factory reset helps

    I have my Passport for about a month now and just experienced the following problem for the second time: all of sudden the keyboard (both hardware and onscreen) don't work anymore. I cannot enter my device password anymore, I can focus the password dialog, but then simply nothing happens when I press keys.
    After a restart of the Passport it asks me for my SIM card PIN. Again, I can focus the text field in the dialog, and I can touch numbers of the onscreen keyboard, and the number keys light up, but no input gets to the dialog.
    There is simply no way to activate the device anymore. I can do a backup using BlackBerry Link, and I can access the device with BlackBerry Blend - but the device itself is useless. No kind of restart or reset helps. The only solution is to do a factory reset, after that the device works fine again - for some time.
    Once this happened while I was on the road, without doing anything with the device. The second time it happened when I was trying to deploy a self written app using the Momentics IDE.
    Additional information:
    - development mode is on (needed since I want to develop Apps for BB10)
    - Snap is installed
    - a handful of Android apps from Google Play store are installed
    - two BlackBerry World apps are installed (whatsapp and HUB++LED)
    Did anyone experienced similar issues or has an idea what might cause this problem?
    Thanks!

    I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.

  • I have 3X YOGA 10 freeze - factory reset not working

    I bought 3 lenovo yoga B8000-F 10 January 2014 none of them work. it is frozen on the logo LENOVO. recovery factory reset not possible

    Lenovo Phone Support are suggesting I take it back to the shop where I bought it (was on vacation interstate in Australia - if Lenovo want to send me the flight, I'll definitely take it back  )
    This looks like a firmware bug and it seems to be endemic - interesting that it's just happened for me too, roughly 100 days since purchase... 
    Also found that the warranty was shown on the Lenovo system as being months before purchase - my receipt is 8/1/14, their record is 23/10/13
    Can not get any message out of the tablet other than that it is in Meta Mode - it won't get to Factory reset.....

  • My time capsule isn't responding after soft, hard and factory resets... what next??

    My time capsule isnt responding after I've done soft, hard and factory default resets I'm afraid Ive lost my data... what else can I try to get my time capsule to respond??

    What is the front LED doing?
    If it is solid amber the drive is dead.. there is no way to recover the Gen2 drive unless you remove it and pass it to data recovery specialist along with your wallet, credit card and bank account.
    TC is not designed as a file server so I just hope you were not saving your itunes or iphoto store on it without a backup.
    If it is flashing amber.. plug it into a computer by ethernet in complete isolation from the network.
    Use the old airport utility if you actually are running Lion as per your profile.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
