Cable box doesn’t reset

So I’ve been trying to reset my cable box to watch the flash so I held down the power button for ten seconds and nothing happened, I’ve unplugged the power cord for a while and it did light up but then went to black again, I have a VIP1200 if that helps but I just need to know how to fix this

Reboot your gateway first and then reboot the receiver.

If that doesn't help, call CS 1-800-288-2020.  A replacement can be sent for a self-install.  You should receive an email with return instructions for the bad one.

When the box starts up, is the link light showing green?

You can do the unplug , plug in three consecutive times which should force a more comprehensive reset.
