@Pierce1  Welcome to the forum.  The links below are to remote troubleshooting guides which may help you:

You could also try holding the remote at both ends and giving it a gentle twist as though you were wringing out a cloth.  Even though it sounds an unlikely solution it has got many faulty remotes working again (including mine on two occasions).

If none of the above help then I would request a replacement at the following link: Streaming TV replacement remote 

If you have one available you can use a Sky Q remote while you wait for a replacement.
