Viewing card with new Sky Q box

Have just had a new Sky Q box delivered, the last one broken. 
Have plugged the new box in and inserted the old viewing card, I am now getting the error saying - please insert your viewing card with the chip facing up.

Have tried putting the card in a few time and still the same error.

Hi @L+Rogers770 

First check that your viewing card is correctly inserted.   Viewing card is in the right hand end of the box. 
If it is in correctly there is not enough of it sticking out to grip and remove it.

Push it fully in and it will pop out slightly enough so you can remove it.

Make sure that it is in chip side up and chip end in first.   Push it gently fully in and you should feel a slight click when it is engaged.   If it has popped out enough to remove it is not located correctly.

If you are satisfied that it is in correctly 

Try refreshing your Viewing card.
Home - Settings - System info.
Highlight Viewing card number and then select Setup on the right hand side.
Then select Use this option to trigger a callback

No call is actually made but the Viewing card should be refreshed.
