My airport extreme 802.11n doesnt respond to pushing reset buttion?

I was just going to get out a heat dryer to pull the pad off the bottom of the unit and then I read your post. Pure magic!

yeah yeah yeah! this is working ... even on my legacy first generation airport express ... the reset button was stuck... using a knife and getting inside the frame and open it just a tiny bit ... then you hear a click and the button is at the right place again... thank you for that very useful advice! :-)

Same issue reset button stuck or broken. Restoring to factory etc work
