Solid yellow light on Airport extreme

My I turner was working just fine last night, this morning, however, that is not the case. The modem is working. The AirPort Extreme has a solid yellow light and the airport utility program says "no configured base stations have been found." So far, I have held the reset button while it was plugged in AND while it was unplugged then plugged back in. From the research I have found, the solid yellow light not responding to a reset means my router is pretty much dead. I'm really hoping that is not the case and that someone knows of something else that can be done! Please help!

Most of the time, this is a failure of an internal power supply and the AirPort is cooked.


It's about a $20 gamble, but replacing the outboard power supply might be worth a try.

If you could get a money back guarantee in case a new outboard power supply did not do the trick, there is virtually no risk in trying this as a last resort.
