AT&T Uverse Arris VIP2262 ReceiverNot Responding

I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps mulitple times, but my receiver is still not responding. There is a black screen with a red x – no number. I've tried the following:

1. Restarted the gateway

2. Unplugged the Arris VIP2262 and waited 10 seconds

3. Unplugged the Arris VIP2262 and waited 10 seconds 3 times

4. Held down OK, Down Arrow, Power

5. Held down OK, Down Arrow, Power 3 times

6. Went through all tech support on myAT&T app (says there is no support for the Arris box and encourages me to call 800-288-2020

7. Called 800-288-2020 5 times and went through all of the support prompts. This resulted in various automated troubleshooting tactics. The system reset my router several times, checked my account, tried to connect to my receiver, etc, etc – But the end result every time was that they could not help me further and to visit the Support page at AT&T.com. There was no opportunity to speak with anyone due to "high call volumes for COVID-19."

8. Went through all the troubleshooting steps (again) via AT&T.com through my account. Once again let me to contact support but offered no means of doing so other than calling the main number (which I've already exhausted).

Can you please tell me what I need to do from here? Everything I'm reading online says my box is probably fried and I a need a technician. All of the lights stay lit solid unless the box is unplugged. Link = Solid Green, HD = Solid Blue, Record = Solid Red. Please help!

Call back. A replacement can be sent for a self install. You have 60 days to return the bad one via UPS/FedEx.

Agreed, your STB has departed this life. Go back to 800.288.2020 and request a replacement.

I have had U-verse for over ten years and my original DVR, silver colored-low storage space, lasted over 10 years.  It failed a couple years ago and I have been replacing the new Arris 2262 units about once every two months, now more frequently.  Appears they have a severe product issue and likely not going to fix it as they are moving to streaming exclusively.  If you have trouble such as recordings deleting themselves, forget it, just get a new box.  Have done everything in the line of troubleshooting and rarely does anything work.  Moving to streaming exclusively in the coming months
