My sky remote control has stopped communicating with my tv and my Q box

I have just returned from holiday and my sky remote has stopped communicating with my tv and Qbox. I have replaced the batteries but the remote LED light does not light up when I press the ? Button

Hi @Pj02 

First reboot your Q box.

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.

Then when Q box is back up and running
With the Q box on with green led 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 remote led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

Thanks for your kind reply. I had already tried your suggestion but I can not get the remote to do anything. 

I ordered a new remote at 6pm and it arrived by 12 am and worked first time.
