Re: Sky Q main box
Hi @Ble1 Have you tried the power button on the box itself? To rule out a problem with the remote.

Hi @Ble1
Work through the following link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-q-box-wont-turn-on
If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box. See below.

Hi @Lee330 As we are fellow customers, nobody is going to call you. It is a bit confusing, why is @Holly139 answering the questions put to you?
And who is @Ble1 who started the thread in the first place?
