RBS50v2 not powereing on red light blinking

I have an RBR50 Router, 2 RBS50 Satellites and a third satellite RBS50v2. I just received an update on my Orbi app. It's been a long time in between updates. I upgraded my devices to V2.7.5.6 from V2.7.5.4. The updates went fine with the exception of the 3rd satellite the RBS50v2. It did not update and was disconnected. Then the power button started to flash red. I have unplugged it and tried to restart same thing. Tried to do a reset, it will not reset. No matter what I do it just flashes red. Can someone help me get it up and running again. It has been removed from my ORBI app along with the http://orbilogin.net/ site.

I'd downgrade the RBR back to last released version of FW. Turn OFF all RBS that were updated. 
See if you can get the RBSv2 to connect to the RBR. Then use the RBRs web UI to check for the FW update for the RBSv2 while it's connected. Update ALL should work here.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get the RBS50v2 to turn on beyond the red blinking power light. Have tried to reset including a 30-30-30 reset to no avail.

Can try the power adapter from the working RBS on this RBS to see if something changes.

If the 30-30-30 didn't fix that, then I guess the RBS is bad. 😒
