Not sure we can help, since you already marked a "Best Answer" on your post.


Is the Time Capsule "tall" shaped.....like a "tower"? If yes, the Time Capsule is 5+ years old, and as much as 9 depending on when it was placed into service.


Or, is the Time Capsule "flat" shaped.....like a small white pizza box? If yes, the Time Capsule is at least 10 years old and as much as 15.


Average useful life of a Time Capsule was about 5-7 years, so the information above may tell you about all that you need to know.


If you don't want to throw in the towel yet, the last resort would be a Factory Default Reset and then a complete new set up.


No guarantees that this will help, but there is not really anything else that you can do at this point.
