Have you tried turning it off and on again?

They actually did:

The Voyager team sent commands over the weekend for the spacecraft to restart the flight data system, but no usable data has come back yet, according to NASA.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help. So now they’ll have to find out what’s causing this, and then see if they can fix it.
