I have an issue with newly delivered SkyQ mini box. Set up complete and can select all channels but if programme needs a pin input to view I just get a blank blue screen, no pin prompt. Works ok on main box.
I have retset pin and no change, also tried going to parental controls on mini box, here I get the pin prompt but justs sits there when I enter the pin, on main box goes straight to sub-menu as soon as 4th digit entered.

Hi @Emmyc109
First try rebooting the main Q box and then when this is completely back up and running reboot the mini.
To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)
note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.
Reboot the mini as above.
Failing this try a Reset Settings in the mini box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the mini box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the mini box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.
Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.
