After making sure the batteries and remote control are working, try removing everything ( Sat Cable, Ethernet, HDMI) and powering off and on at the wall.

Reflash the firmware on the box using the skybox lan tool, if you dont know what Ip address your box was using before it went bad then look in your router to see.
