Powerline LED has to be on with the first adapter in the wall?

Hi @ll
First of all: Sorry for my English, I try to explain as good as I can...
After about 2 years of working fine my TL-PA4010 start to mess around.
I tried to reset them (I have two) with the management utility and start all over. In the manual it says that the powerline LED has to be on as soon as you plug the very first adapter in.
So is this correct? You plug it in, wait and shortly after all 3 LED are on? This does not work with mine (anymore?).
I just wonder if this is so because how would the first adapter "know" it has powerline without another adapter responding?
So here's what I do:
Plug adapter A into power circuit (with LAN cable already in the adapter), all 3 LED light very shortly and then only power and LAN stay green, powerline turns off.
At that point no other adapter is plugged in. Do I really understand it right that even then the powerline LED has to be on?
I then plugged in the next adapter B in a wall socket in the same room, it boots and then only the power LED is on.
Then I press "pair" on adapter A and after this on B. It takes about 2-5 seconds and then A has all 3 LED on and B has power and powerline on.
After about 1 minute on adapter A the powerline LED stops and they are not connected anymore.
Any suggestions what I could do?
I already switched the adapters but I have the same effect.
And I do not have any new devices in the power circuit and both adpaters are right in the wall.
So no changes at all, it "just happened"...
Thank you so much for any advice...
