From previous posts in this forum I got the understanding that this was a known error in firmware.
So I was hoping, that someone found way around this, that doesn't involve destroying the orbi.

It's been some years since I used the RBR40, but I don't think it is firmware. Are any of the LEDs lit?
If you haven't tried using one of the satellite power adapters with the RBR, then I'd start by doing that. If that doesn't change the behavior, then you could try opening the case (or replace it).
