hey experts … I have a riddle here … I have Airport Extreme blinking orange (amber) with no other light (lan sockets), no wifi and no connection via cable. Tried to reset it - no luck so far, tried different power boards - same behavior - so I think the power, fan is OK, but why orange is still blinking and no other sign of life is there … even fan was cleaned but does not spin … tried new fan as well but not spinning as well … any advice what I could try ? I know it’s old but I like fixing things … thanks in advance !
The blinking LED is telling you its trying to update its firmware. Using the uplink Ethernet port connect it to your Internet router so it can finish. You should also plug in your Mac system into the same hub as your AirPort and use the AirPort app to check on your Airport unit.
