Genie receiver not working for Direct TV

Genie receiver is not working.  Have tried rebooting several times.  Now picture is Direct TV ads only and no sound.  Cannot get to a channel-guide and menu buttons do nothing.

What model Genie Receiver?

If it's a Mini Genie, be sure to also reset your main Genie DVR. What model number is your main Genie DVR?

Thanks, but I already reset the main Genie a few days ago and the Mini
Genie still didn't work. Today I tried a few different things and the
Mini Genie is now working, *except there is no sound.*

I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Model numbers please.

Model # looks like D61-500.  Even with a magnifying glass it's hard to be sure that "D" isn't 0 and "61" could be 81.

 

It has a date of 12/18 on it.  Hope this helps.

Thanks so much
