Yes I have tried all the instructions in that link, including verifying Simlink on the LG TV is on. It will power off the TV but won’t turn it on. Frustrated.

Three Thoughts:


I. 30 Second Power-Off:

Unplug the Apple TV for 30 seconds. Power it back on.


II. Go Here: If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support


III. Request a Replacement:

See if this is an option to you. You have a one-year out-of-the-bod limited-warranty. So contact Apple, and see if you can get a replacement. It's worth a go.

Go Here: AppleCare Products - Apple TV - Apple

The Apple Remote is supposed to turn on the Apple TV, using the Menu or TV/Home buttons (not using the Touch surface in tvOS 13 or later). When the Apple TV wakes from sleep/standby, it can send an HDMI-CEC signal to the TV, which may respond by also waking from sleep.

The Apple Remote is not supposed to turn on the TV directly.


If a TV is not fully cooperative to HDMI-CEC signals, then only the manufacturer can change that with updated firmware.
