I just bought my first ever refurbished item from Apple, an Airport Express Base Station, to bridge with my Airport Extreme, for Air Tunes, and it's a freakin DOA. I was so excited to get it setup this weekend, when I actually have some free time, and as luck would have it, the lights came on for about 10 seconds and it's been dead ever since.

I tried every reset a dozen times each, no dice. Called Apple, they are shipping me a new one, which is great, but I just hate it when stuff like this happens.

So much for "checking it twice" for QC...🙁
 
Sorry for your bad luck.

I've purchased multiple items from the outlet store and have never had any issues with them.
 
It happens, get over it.

Sorry, man, I know it stinks. I'd be grousy if it happened to me too. But when you get the working one, you'll love it. 🙂

A) I'm a woman

B)There is "nothing" to get over, I'm not ticked or anything. I just thought I would write my first refurb experience. I was all excited to get it set up, because it's the first time in a long time I have had time off work, for more than 1 day.

Oh well, it's a part of life.
