The original (graphite) AirPort base stations had problems with
less-than-good quality capacitors, which tended to leak electrolyte
and lead to the eventual failure of the unit. In my case, this was
noticeable
in the form of long startup times with flashing red lights (I think
they were
flashing) and an eventual refusal to start up at all. Replacing the
offending
capacitors should fix the problem.
Cheers
