Reviving a dead 301?

[digitalelegance]

Hi folks,
I just got my equipment from Sears today (possibly my problem ), a 301 with a Dish 500 dish. Got the dish up and aimed, the switch checked out fine...then the trouble started. The 301's display turned to a purple / pink screen and the receiver shut itself off. Now I can't get it to turn back on.

Any suggestions on how to resurrect it? Or am I up a creek?

Thanks!

EDIT: Dammit, wrong forum.

You can try unplugging it for 30 min.

Take it back.

I would take it back to Sears. If they will not take it back call Dish Network and have them replace it. It is under warranty and more than likely they will also waive the $14.95 Advanced Exchange shipping fee since you have not had it long.

You might want to make sure that the smart card is fully inserted.
