Airport Express: When Blinking Green Means Stop

I just had an Airport Express die a slow blinking green death. Why is this so common?

airport-express2.jpgAirport Express is a great product. Lots of us use it to set up wireless networks, play music and print. It’s easy to set up and works well — until it dies. When mine did, I did the usual. I looked on line, I checked all the wires, I called Apple support. They were helpful, but I was out of luck. My waranty had expired. I looked on Apple’s discussion forums and this seems very common. Shouldn’t Apple fix what appears to be a design problem?
Is this still happening with new Aiport Expresses?
