Apple TV 3 no signal to TV

Appletv3 appearing to be working but will not show picture on TV. Other devices work on the cables and I've tried several devices and cables and all 3 input sockets on the tv. Yesterday it worked fine.


My iPad seems to see the Apple TV and stream to it but no picture. I have restored and updated it via my computer still no screen.

  1. Change the Apple TV resolution:
    • Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
    • The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
    • Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.
  2. Reboot your Apple TV by holding down the Menu and Down button on the Apple Remote for six seconds. Allow the Apple TV a few minutes to restart.

I didn't change anything, it was working on the previous evening as we were watching tv via the ATV3.


I have a samsung 50inch plasma(I will find model number I'd it is still relevant.)


I have tries 3 cables on 3 ports on the tv.


I have also tried the ATV3, a camera and a set top box on all 3 cables and ports. Only the ATV3 fails


I have tried to cycle the resolution with no effect after 30 mins. I have rebooted, unplugged etc no result and also updated via iTunes. No result
