Apple TV hardware appears to be not working properly.

My OLD Apple TV device appears to be frozen. When I turn it on, the screen comes up with two options: computers and settings, both of which appear to be dead ends. I'm assuming it was a new update, but cant find anything about it.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 13
