Q: Apple TV Running tvOS Dev Beta - Blinking Light of Death

Hi,

 

I am a paid developer program member and downloaded the tvOS dev beta to my Apple TV 4th gen (64GB) device. A few days ago, when I turned my Apple TV on, the white light started blinking rapidly instead of blinking at a slow pace and staying solid. On my TV, there is a warning saying "support.apple.com/appletv/restore". After following the instructions there (I bought a USB C cable to connect it to my Mac), I put it into iTunes, but it didn't appear. The Siri remote doesn't respond so I can't do it from the Apple TV itself, but the device doesn't show up in iTunes like my iPhone does.

 

How can I fix this? My dad uses the Apple TV daily and is now restricted to cable or watching Netflix via Xbox. Image of the warning is attached below.
