How can I bring my alarm back to life ?

I have an Optima house alarm.The Tamper,Power and Day lights are on and the attack light is off.None of the zone lights,1 to 6,are on.The problem is it wont operate.No buttons beep.Cant turn alarm on or off.I've put code in but the buttons dont even register that I've pressed them.
HELP !

Hi John and Kyle. Thanks for help. It was just a simple case of disconnecting all power, reconnecting, and punching in my number.

You could try EOLR's (end of the line resistors) on all the zones... usually all of the zones on the panels i've installed needs a 1000 Ohm resistor attached to it, or you can simply replace the 12 volt battery. Take off the 2 leads from the battery, remember what one goes on the red lead, and what goes on the black, and just re attach it to the new battery. Let me know how that works out for you... Marlonsaunt@yahoo.com email me if you get it working right.

try removing mains power- then open control panel and remove one of the battery leads- then re connect battery-put lid on -enter your code to stop alarm-re apply mains power and reset sytem.
