Apple TV 4K

Have plugged this back in after not using it for quite a while - unit blinks rapidly and is not recognised by tv - old thread suggested resetting the unit but how can I do that as there is no screen - I tried disconnecting pier by unplugging then replugging but no help - I have also lost the remote - apart from that it’s all good.

Unfortunately, the current support document doesn’t list the 2nd generation anymore. Therefore, also check an older version of this support document: Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support (2015).
