AirPort Express has suddenly lost Power?

I just got back from 6 weeks overseas and I left my AirPort Express plugged into the power with a USB printer connected and the Ethernet Broadband cable connected. When I got back, my AirPort had no power lights on at all, but the printer and modem were still powered through same plug socket. I have unplugged all cables from AirPort and tried this in various other power sockets around the house but no amber light comes on at all, it has completely lost all power. I've tried the Factory Reset but still no joy, any advice would be most welcome. Cheers

Is the power circuit repairable or do I now have a £100 paperweight?
I guess that would depend on how resourceful you are. Here are a couple of articles worth looking at:

  • My airport express has suddenly gone psycho!  Can you help?

    I've had a Time capsule base station extended by an airport express for over two years and it's been totally reliable.  This week the amber light started flashing intermittently.  I've done a factory reboot on the express 2 X and that has not solved the problem.  I'm beginning to wonder if the express units get fried after continual use.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. :-)

    First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
    Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
    Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
    If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible. 
    Please report on your results.

  • My Airport Express has a weak signal 50-75 feet from base.  Any solutions?

    My AirPort Express has a very weak signal 50-75 feet away from the base.  Any suggestions?

    buy one (or two) of those newer md031 airport extreme base stations as they have a higher power output.
    ur post is implying 'join a wireless network' so i dont think limiting to 2.4ghz or 802.11b or 802.11g would help..
    using 2.4 or 802.11b would help over distances, if ur creating a network and joining it then thats not an option
    the airport has a couple settings like power output (make sure its set to 100%) or multicast rate that might be worth trying out. multicast set to low helps with clients joining at longer distances and multicast set to high kicks off clients at distances
    put the aiprort express up high on the wall so it has a better chance of not being obstructed ?? and not on the bottom of the baseboard??

  • My iPhone 3G has suddenly lost vibration and sound/ringtones(also does not change aspect when tilted). An incoming phone call can be answered but no sound is heard from the speakers9even though the caller can hear what I am saying). Any ideas?

    My 3G iPhone has suddenly lost all sound and vibration, it has also lost the "tilt" capability on-screen. An incoming call is registered without a sound, however, the caller can hear everything being said by me(whilst I hear nothing at all from his/her call).
    Any suggestions??

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • Airport Express has very weak signal even to the next room

    I am wondering why my airport express has a weak signal. The signal to the next room(about 4 or 5 meters away), is so weak that you can only see one or 2 lines from the graphic at the internet connect. My base station has the last firmware from apple. Has anybody else experiencing this problem or knows what could be wrong?
    Mac mini G4 1.25, iMac G5 2.0, MacBook 2.0, iPod 20Gb, iPod nano 4Gb, iPod 30Gb   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have tried changing channels, I have tried using interference robustness but nothing seems to work. Isn't it so wierd thought that in the same room within 1 meter distance, the signal becomes from strong to weak, to zero?? The funny part also is that when i change channel for a few seconds the signal is very strong until it drops to zero. When i try another wireless device doesn't seem to have this problem but only with airport express base.

  • Airport Express has stopped working, no IP-adress

    Airport Express has stopped working. In my Airport tool, I can't see the Airport Express anymore.
    Under network, I can still see the Airport, but it says, that it cant find an IP-Adress.
    It can see my Airport Extreme.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try resetting the Airport Express.
    If you don't see it in Airport Utility in your Utilities folder, then you would need to reset it...
    Do you have it set to "Join" the Extreme network? or something else?
    See this Apple doc on how to reset your base station.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
    Also, you would not see it in your Network preference panel in the System Preferences.
    You will only see the main network which is your Airport Extreme....
    Unless you have 2 separate networks....
    How many do you have?

  • Why my airport express has a yellow light

    why my airport express has a yellow light (not blinking)

    Before doing a reset try the Airport Utility via Finder > Applications > Utilities ... this might give you a reason for the flashing light.   It could be something simple like the software needs updating.

  • AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    I'm having the same problem, even more:
    - Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
    - Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
    - A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
    - Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
    I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living  what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the  moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple  - it just works"...
    At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

  • My iPad has suddenly lost all sound

    My iPad has suddenly lost all sound.

    All sounds are gone? Did you check the music or videos app for sound? If they have sound, system sounds are muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My Photoshop Elements 11 has suddenly lost contact with my CanoScan 9000F with the following message..."CanoScan 9000.  software for this device could not be launched.  The drive is not connected or is busy."  How do I regain connection?

    My Photoshop Elements 11 has suddenly lost contact with my CanoScan 9000F with the following message..."CanoScan 9000.  software for this device could not be launched.  The drive is not connected or is busy."  How do I regain connection?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Airport Express has broken!

    I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but after a power cut my Airport Express base station has gone nuts. Now I have a flashing green light and no amount of resetting (soft, hard or factory - and I'm sure I'm doing them correctly) will stop it.
    I have read other posts that point the finger of blame at the recent Security Update, but even after removing the guilty .plist files from Preferences, the light still flashes.
    I have tried unplugging the ethernet cable from it, and putting it in other plug sockets around the house, but no joy. I've left it powered down for a weekend and then tried another factory reset, but still the green light flashes.
    Any ideas will be gratefully received Is there a mystery 4th type of reset that I can do???

    There's no other type of reset.
    Unless someone offers a better idea, I'd take it to the shop if it's still under warranty. Otherwise, it'll probably be cheaper to buy a replacement on the used market. Sounds like the surge that resulted when your power came back on whacked it.
    Bummer, and another illustration of why a UPS is a worthwhile investment.

  • New airport express has error, now network can't connect to internet to

    Purchased new airport express to use solely for airplay, ran airport utility and there was an error. Now airport express is not recognized and wireless network (Fios router) has no internet connection.

    It's optional, but in my opinion, it would still be a good idea to perform the complete network power cycle that I outlined above.  This will give the network a "fresh start" and minimize the chances of an error occurring during the setup of the Express.
    Perform a Factory Default Reset as suggested by Tesserax above.
    Temporarily, locate the Express in the same room or close proximity to the Actiontec modem/router and power it on for a few minutes. Do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Express, as it will be configured using wireless.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen and look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on AirPort Express just below that listing
    That will get the setup "wizard" running to take a minute to analyze the network and likely suggest that the Express be setup to extend the Actiontec network.
    Technically, it cannot do this, but it should be able to join the Actiontec network for use with AirPlay if the security settings on the Actionec are compatible with the Express.
    Enter a name that you want to call the Express and then click the Other Options button.
    Select the Add to an existing network option, if not already selected, and click Next
    Follow the prompts, making sure that the name of the network and password are entered correctly.
    If the setup is successful, you will see a message of Setup Complete and the Express will display a green light. Click Done and move the Express to the desired location and power it back up again.  The Express needs to be located where it can receive a good quality signal from the modem/router wireless.
