For black screens caused by invalid resolutions, see here:

If your Apple TV doesn't turn on - Apple Support

• If you see the Apple logo and then a black screen, hold Menu and Volume Down for 6 seconds, then release. Your Apple TV will switch to a new resolution every 20 seconds. Select OK to choose a resolution or Cancel to quit.

But it seems you already tried something with those keys.

Problem solved after disconnecting the Apple TV cables (power and hdmi). Waited about 5 minutes reconnected and it works again. Frustrating experience. I was considering buying a new device since my Apple TV is about 13 months old and not under guarantee. It would be easier than dealing with Apple Store
