I went out to move my car this morning and hit the unlock button. The remote beeped like it was unlocking but didn't then the screen went blue. I thought maybe the battery had died so I took it inside to charge it but by time I got inside the screen went blank and it sees dead now. I tried the tricks of plugging it in and out over and over and hitting the function key but that doesn't seem to be working. It did flash blue once when I plugged it in and beeped (and the car sounded like it locked) but it just went blank again. I've had it plugged in for over an hour now and still a blank screen. Please Help! I need to go to work!
The battery is probably dead. There is a guy on ebay that is replacing them. He fixed mine and it works great. The batteries dont last forever and you cannot just buy them they are a special type, also viper suggests you buy a new remote for $299 because they do not replace the batteries... how convenient. Hopefully that helps.

sounds like the remots have lost two way communication. try to disconnect the windsheild antenna.try remotes again after pluging antenna back in.
SOURCE: got a new remote for my viper 791XZ and reprogrammed it .
this usually means that the remote did not recieve a signal back from the module or the module did not recieve the remote signal
have you tried repeatively to press the unlock button? does the remote starter work or aux( trunk ) ?
also when putting the battery in the remote , be easy because there is a connector plug soldered on the board real close to where the battery is , and if it is hit by the battery hard enough it will cause those solder connections to disconnect and you will get the beeps and or other malfunctions

My battery ran low and I jump started my car which some how caused the problem. My viper technician made me a buy new remote but the problem continued even with the new remote.
Try disconnecting the battery of your car for ten minutes and then reconnecting it. It worked for me. Now i have a extra remote which i don't need.

The battery charges by a mini USB connection. I have it plugged in but it the screen is still blank. I tried hitting the unlock and function keys like some have suggested but nothing happened. I just went to check it again and the screen lit up blue but is still blank and none of the buttons on the remote work. I can unlock my car and start it but the alarm goes off (obviously) and doesn't stop when the car starts. It did however stop when I parked it and hit the lock buttons on the inside of the car and closed the door. This was after a about 5 minutes of the alarm going off.
When I manually override the system will it be able to function normally (like as if I don't have the Viper installed)? Meaning can I drive around and not worry about the alarm constantly going off every time I stop somewhere?
The screen on the remote is staying lit but is still blank...and still not functioning.
Ok update: The unlock button worked finally! Thank god! But the remote screen (though lit) is still blank.
Also, I opened the remote and there is no battery. Just the USB port.
