Problem with Bord Gáis PAYG Meter

    We have a PAYG meter with Bord Gáis. We ran out of credit this morning. When we topped it up the meter had turned OFF. When we topped it up it turned ON. Now the boiler won't work. It's giving a flashing red light on the flame failure indicator. It was only serviced last week so I doubt it's the boiler. I read on here somewhere here that the meter might need to be reset to get the gas flowing to the boiler. Is this something that must be done by a RGI or a Bord Gáis engineer so can I do this myself? Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Scratch that, just fixed it. I reset the boiler, I had done but but I reset when it was trying to start up. Seemed to fix it :)
