airport solid amber light then a flash of green and back to amber

hi, i have an airport express that always worked properly, then a week ago or so, it stoped working without a reason, the light is solid amber for like a minute, and then it flashes the green light and it goes back to amber again, and the network is not appearing, sometimes it does, but since the problem it only appeared twice, does anyone know what can i do? thank you so much!

Dropping from waist height onto carpet worked here, too. It's like having a dodgy starter motor on a car: give it a knock and off you go!

Adding to this list with the odd fix. Dropped it from about 2 feet onto a hardwood floor and the problem vanished. Strange, but giving it the Fonzie treatment worked.

Threw mine on the floor and it fired right back up...
