The red light around the concentric switch only ever coms on when the radio is put into bootstrap mode. This is achieved with an SRIB interface that applies the relevant voltages to the external "jedi" connector as the radio is rebooted.
If the radio is getting into this mode, its because either the host firmware is borked beyond recognition, or theres a hardware failure. Or both.
In any case, all of the above failures are tracked to one thing - a failed controller board. Either find a new board, or put the radio in the cupboard until you can find one.
