On our French forums, Shok reported all problems he encountered with his iMac G5 RevA. Thankfully, such a misery remains an exception. However, when dealing with AppleCare and mentioning his Airport Express station (APX) that also went dead after 18months, he was told that Apple had a list of all Airport Express that should stop working relatively quickly, suffering of the short lifetime issue that we have been reporting about for months.
If it is really true, then it would be nice that Apple contacts unfortunate owners to get the product exchanged for free, as it would have happened if series of iPod had suffered of a similar problem.
Apple knows how to contact us, and our records display over 930 reports of dead-too-early Airport Express, affected by the short lifetime syndrome (due to a bad quality capacitor as reported previously). To report about our dead APX, please submit references via our dedicated webpage.
