Hi Monk,,, Don't panic , this has happened a few times here on the forum in the last few years. It's fixable, however how... that's the 64 thousand dollar question.
Maybe a reload of the software starting with new batteries, and making sure the remote is in the "off: position by removing one battery and reinstalling it. The Loader will tell when to hold down the on/off button.
I 've had it happen and eventually it took after number of tries , I even went back to the older software version (that worked as well ![](https://ogrforum.com/static/images/graemlins/icon_wink.gif)
The only reason I posted was to let you know it's fixable. You don't need a new remote.
