    • The next step is to use the putty knife to pry off one of the two plastic endcaps, they snap out and the circuit board slides out.

Hi… someone have the board scheme, please?

My express dock only flashing the Led when I plugged the power cord and turn off

Anderson Galdino -

I cannot get any power going into the dock. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the analog board and dead power. The cables are hot so I know it must be the dock itself. Just nothing. Its internal leds do not light up and the Ethernet port has no activity lights either.

Any advice would be welcome.
