Sky Q remote red light stays on. Remote not working after batteries replaced.

My Sky Q remote was working fine. A message appeared to replace the batteries. I replaced the batteries. Now the red light on the remote remains on at all times (even if the box and TV are off)

I have tried pressing 1&3, 7&9, resetting the Sky Q box (unplug etc). The remote has no effect at all. The remote's light remains on, no matter what buttons I press.

I can't seem to find any help with this particular problem. 

Any ideas?

Hi @Lezindi 

Looks like either the Microphone button or the Question mark (?) is stuck in on your remote

Hi @oldfella 

Nope. No buttons are stuck. Remote is super clean

Hi @Lezindi 

Have you double checked that the batteries are both the correct way round?
