Apple TV won't boot, and shows pink Background

I've had my appletv for two years (I got it when it came out).

Whenever I try to boot it, it gets to the apple logo and stops there and an amber light is flashing on the device.

Weirder than that is that the normal black background is now bright pink.

Weird right?

So, anyone know what this is?

It's hooked up through HDMI, and i've tried everything. different cables different hook ups. only thing I haven't tried is hooking it up through component cables because I don't have any.

Anyone have any ideas?

Can I take it to the genius bar?

Apple TV, Mac OS X (10.4.7)
