Sky Q flashes and doesn't connect

Hello,

 

My SKy Q box, flashes and doesn't connect, Internet working, try unplugging it and plugging it back, remote doesn't work either (change the batteries and tried all troubleshooting).

Any help?

Thanks.

@Roro Try resetting your remote.
Press the buttons 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes twice then follow onscreen instructions to repair the remote.

Remote won't restart, less than 2 months old

Good afternoon,

 

I believe my remote is not working. Changed batteries, tried to reset it by pressing 7 & 9, and then 1&3 with no luck, LED lights don't blink or do anything, but I can see a bit of light on the buttons in the remote.

Any button I press shows me the "search" option on the tv, an doesn't allow me to do anything else.

I guess I will need to replace the remote but it's not even 2 months old.

I was waiting the the Led lights to flash but nothing happened, for I try different ways. Few seconds first (10-15 secs), then 30 sec, then a min, I can see the remote lights up but not the tiny LED ligth at the top.

No, unfortunately the light does not light up but the buttons on my remote do when I press any of them. I wish I could send a picture of the remote.

Batteries are new, button to switch on/off the box work but then any of the other respond, and if they do they altered the sound on the tv o switch off the box all of the sudden.

@Roro the buttons on a Sky Q remote do not light up are you sure you dont have a Sky syream remote 

 

To add a picture reply to a post and click on the icon that looks like a camera (if you put your mouse curser over it it will say insert photos) above the reply box

I meant they don't have any buttons that are supposed to light up so it sounds like the wrong remote.
