Apple TV 4K

My TV 4k keeps blinking with no screen access. It's been unplugged a few times to restart with no success. Any ideas??

If the status light is flashing, then it may be failing to start up properly. Possibly the software needs to be re-installed.

Unfortunately, if you can’t access the menu on the Apple TV 4K model, then you can’t reset or restore it yourself. Make an appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
