Q: Apple TV won't turn on

My Apple TV (2nd gen) won't turn on. The LED flashes when used with the remote, but it won't stay on.

Thoughts?

One fear I have is that I have missed an update or two, and the current update that I tried won't work because it's been too long.

Any thoughts?

Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
