4k apple tv blinking static screen after update uncontrollable

After seemingly a routine OS update, upon the unit rebooting there was a static screen that then blacks out, comes back as static, blacks out again over and over. The unit is totally uncontrollable. I have unplugged and re-plugged during the last few days with no success. It is effectively a brick at this moment.


It is model A1842 (HD 5th Generation)
