Flashing light

The light on the black box keeps flashing. I have unplugged the unit for hours, I have charged the remote, and I can’t get into Apple TV at all to follow any instructions. My TV goes to HDMI2 like it is supposed to.

The flashing status light signifies a failure to start up properly. You may need to have the system software re-installed. Unfortunately, for the 4K model, users can’t perform the external restore themselves. Instead, contact Apple for assistance.
