Hi, Did you try holding in the reset button while you plugged in the power to see if this does anything?

Can you connect it by ethernet to your modem router (if you have one) to see it does anything?

Hi, Have you got access to an Apple device e.g. iPhone, Ipad and see if they can connect to it, just to prove that it is working OK. Apple hasn't supported Windows in their routers etc since Win 7

My iPhone cant see time capsule too. So i think maybe i dont know how to say in English.. device which gives signal is broken ?

If i have right and i cant repair it maybe i remove only hard disc from TC and start using like flash drive...

A solid amber LED, following a green one, would indicate that the power circuit in the Time Capsule has failed. No resets will bring it back unfortunately.

Your A1355 model, came out in Oct. 2009 and were discontinued by Apple in Jun 2011. They are currently considered "Vintage" by Apple Support. Most consumer-grade networking hardware have a useful lifespan of about 3-5 years. Yours is well beyond that time frame.
