My Apple TV 4 stopped working. The indicator light is blinking, but nothing appears on my screen.

How can I reset my Apple TV 4? The indicator light is blinking, but nothing appears on my TV screen, so I can't see what is going on. I've unplugged it several times and tried the remote, but I do not get any response. What else can I try?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 13

Apple TV 4 (4th generation) is not Apple TV 4K. Please be precise about identification.

Apple TV (4th generation) can be restored by the user through iTunes (macOS prior to Catalina, or PC), or through the Finder (macOS Catalina 10.15). Restore your Apple TV - Apple Support

Apple TV 4K cannot be restored externally by users. You will have to make an appointment with Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
