I have no lights on my airport express

1 year old Airport Express...


I had it plugged in and disconnected a cable. Now I can not get it to turn back on. The only light that sometimes blinks a quick red is within the headphone jack port. Other then that it is seemingly dead. No connect with wifi or Ethernet. I've performed a reset, soft reset and hard reset. No bueno! Any ideas?

Unfortunately, all there is left to do is try a Factory Default Reset as follows:


Power down the Express

Wait a few minutes

Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power

Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart


If the Express is operational, the amber light will stay solid for 30-40 seconds and then begin to slowly blink amber


If this does not occur, the Express is defective and will need to be replaced

Bob,


Thank you for your reply. After your message I attempted and perform a "Factory Default Reset" with no change. Thank you for helping confirm what I thought might be the truth 😟
