Time Capsule (A1355)

My Time Capsule (A1355) stopped working after I unplugged it. When plugging it in, no light comes on. What can I do to fix?

The power supply is likely dead.. but it can be main board faulty as well.

You will find it difficult to find replacements now.. loads on eBay but they mostly are early ones.. the later models used a Delta supply instead of the rather less reliable Flextronics.


It is now 9-10 years old.. frankly it is time to replace.

But if you wish you can do some real DIY work and replace the power supply entirely with External 12v plus internal 12v to 5v DC-DC regulator.
