My Apple TV will not allow me to get to setting to restart

I have not used my Apple TV for about a year due to COVID, as it’s at my Summer home. Now I can not get Apple TV to work.8 have done the button holding, unplugging and the screen keeps changing and goes to screen saver. I need to get to settings to reset or restart and can’t get there due to the shaking. Can someone help me, I do not have a cable to hook to my computer.

A1427 is an Apple TV (3rd generation). That would work with an Apple Remote (aluminum).


The guide for re-linking an Apple Remote (aluminum) is on the second half of the support document.

Do all three steps, including the clearing of the last link in step #1.
