Testing Airport Express

How do you tell if an Airport Express is broken? I have one that was set up for Airtunes, and it recently stopped working. It does not show up in the AirPort Utility. I gave it a factory default reset which resulted in first a solid amber light and then a blinking amber light. Before I chuck it, I want to be sure it is gone. Thanks.

After that I couldn't trust the network I was on, I reset it, changed all my settings, and made sure to turn on the option that lets me connect to the Airport Express via Ethernet in case this ever happens again so I can change the settings without resetting it.
