Put the remote control in the charging station for 1 hour, removed the battery insert the battery.
When placing in the charger, a graphic usually appears on the screen. If, as you say, it's completely dead check;
- The charger - does it have an output?*
- The charger/remote connections - clean them nonetheless.
- The battery - is it actually charged?*
- The battery/remote connections - again, clean them anyway.
If none of the above resolve the problem I can only assume it's within the remote itself.
*(Multimeter obviously required).
