Try Leaving it unplugged for a few mins.

Are there any lights on the display at all?

And what model viewsat is it?

List your model?

Your receiver is not dead.

In your package box with receiver is furnish a cable RS-232 you must download factory bin with the cable from your computer .
Go to: [link removed]
download this 2 files:
Ultra Lite Loader - Firmware Updater (also works with Ultra)you install this one on computer
[link removed]

VS Ultra Lite Factory Bin File - V0107
[link removed]


for download with the loader in your receiver

close rear switch on receiver
open program take file v0107
clic D to download in receiver and a second after
switch on
the transfert take 5-10 mins
you must see 0000
download the latest bin with USB

It will take many time with different delay before it work, you can power off as fast that you see the display light if it not work first time.
Good luck

Unhook the LNB cable as Gregraf says and power the unit and check if it work.

If yes you can have a bad wire, but before reload the latest file 2 times before rehook the cable.

Reply with the result.
