Orbi RBS50v2 power light flashing red

Orbi RBS50v2 (satellite) power light when switched on goes amber to green, stays green for approx 10secs before blinking red. The RBR50v2 is working fine. I understand the firmware is corrupted but cannot fix it.  I have tried (too many times to mention) factory resetting the satellite but nothing happens.  I have tried connecting the satellite via ethernet to the RBR router and power cycling / resetting but still the same.  I have also tried connecting the satellite to my MacBook via ethernet but it doesn't stay green long enough to be able to login to the ip address - just says either can't connect or connection was interrupted.  Any further suggestions are welcome, or is it just kaput?

Thanks

Last resort is to try a 30-30-30 reset. If this fails then RBS is bad.
