apple tv 4k white light blinking

After powering on my Apple TV 4k after it was shut off for a day or so, the white light is flashing but the Apple TV 4k won't come on. I tried unplugging power for a minute and plugging it back in, but it immediately starts blinking again. Do I need to take the Apple TV to Apple or is there some way to reset it?

Do I need to take the Apple TV to Apple.

Quite likely, yes, but I would suggest to contact them first.


If you see a continuously flashing status light, that indicates a failure to start up properly. First try a cold restart (disconnect from power for a minute or two). If that doesn’t improve it, then the system software may need to be re-installed. Unfortunately, for the 4K model, users can’t do this themselves. Instead, contact Apple Support for assistance.
