Apple TV 4K won’t stop blinking in a weird pattern. Can’t restart it, and it won’t respond to the controller (imgur.com)

I’ve disconnected it twice and still no luck. It was working fine 10 minutes ago.

I just had this happen also. I determined it was likely an issue with the remote firing signals constantly. Try bringing the remote very far away from ATV and see if the blinking stops. This can allow you to regain control of the ATV via the iPhone remote or in my case a Harmony. I haven’t had time to try to get the remote back working but was going to try that remote restart when I do. Sounds like that may not work.

LOL now it’s happening to my other Apple TV and I’m stuck on the restore option. It’s telling me to Bluetooth my phone to the Apple TV, but nothings happening.

Is it a first gen 4k? if so some of them have been getting bricked by the newest TvOS and apple will replace it.

Last night I was watching Netflix and it shut off on its own and now I’m stuck in boot loop I get the first Apple icon on the center of the screen and it reboots. I’ve tried unplugging several times and tried to restore from a iPhone no luck . 4K Gen 2
