Apple Airport help required

Soory to be so far off DSC topic but I have a dead airport and wondered if anyone knew how to open then up for an investidation?

Brute force or subtlety?

Well, i can do the networking side but have never took one apart...

think there are 3 torx screws on the underside which should split it, might be worth a chat to Derek on upnorth, he's the electrical wiz and also uses a mac.

have you checked its not the power supply before opening it up??

there are a few different versions of the base station and knowing Apple each will have its own way of opening.

We are talking totally dead here. No light at all. It's the remote airport wireless unit that hangs in a wall, 3 pin plug socket.

Ah, thats an Airport express, haven't got one here at work but have at home, will take a look tonight...

Many thanks. I have a feeling that it's a two halves snapped together jobbie.
