Hi @toni+hayhurst 

I'm sure you may be aware that you haven't bought the minis as all q box are only rented for the duration of your Q subscription.

Have you tried pressing the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the Q box.
If this turns the Q box on
Try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

Failing this try the Mini recovery procedure in the following link.

Tried all of that

Didn't realize the boxes are rented.

Thought we bought them

So if it still doesn't work what do we do 

On the website it just says buy another box?
