Apple TV 4K Blinking Light

Good afternoon,


I was hoping someone may have some insight on this. A storm came through a few days ago and knocked the power out for a bit. When the power came on, my Apple TV 4K hasn't been functioning. The light just keeps on flashing and flashing, with no power our sound. I tried the troubleshoot section and found it to be of no help. I was wondering if anyone knew of how to reset it without actually using it, if that makes any sense. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

First try a disconnect from power for a minute or two. If that doesn’t help, then either some components got fried, or the system software needs to be re-installed. Both will need the attention of an Apple technician, as users can’t restore the 4K model externally. Best to contact Apple Support directly.
