Orbi Satellite RBS10 no power

I have a Orbi router and 2 satellites RBS10. The router and one satellite are working fine but the 3rd satellight started making a very faint beeping sound which it took me a while to find out where the beeping was coming from. I unplugged it and later the next day I plugged it in and the satellight will not power on. At first I thought it was the plug, but I tried using the plug from the one that was working fine and it still is dead. Any ideas or is it unfixable? 
thanks in advance

    Assuming that the electrical outlet is OK, it appears that the satellite has failed.

    Just to be 100% certain, there would be no harm in doing a Factory Reset on the satellite. (not the whole system)

     

    Unlike most Orbi models, the RBS10 does not appear to have a Power LED next to the power plug.

    When plugged in, does the LED on the front show anything?
