Apple TV HD power surge but light still on and blinking

We had a power surge due to a faulty socket and it affected out Apple TV and television. After reconnecting everything the television is fine and the Apple TV light comes on and is blinking. The television says there is no signal coming from the Apple TV though.

Any way to either resolve the problem or confirm that the Apple TV is dead?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming nothing got fried in the electric accident, then:

  1. Try a cold restart (disconnect from power for a minute or two) of the Apple TV box. Verify if it starts up better now.
  2. Else try restoring the system software through a computer. Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support
