Hello iulian52,


The page you came from, If your Apple TV doesn't turn on or shows a black screen - Apple Support, contains steps to take if your Apple TV does not turn on.


If you have worked through all those steps, and are still having an issue, here are some additional things to check:


  1. Is the light on the front of the Apple TV flashing for more than 3 minutes? If it does then follow the steps here to Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support
  2. If the light is steady and does not flash, unplug and replug both ends of the HDMI cable. You may want to try a different HDMI cable also.
  3. If there is no light on, unplug the power cord from the Apple TV and wait 30 seconds to plug back in.


If you still have an issue, the next step would be to reach out to Apple Support here: Get Support


Have a good day.
