A continuously flashing status light may indicate that the system software needs to be restored. Unfortunately, for the 4K model, users can’t connect their device to a computer to do this themselves. Instead, contact Apple Support for assistance.

is it flashing very fast or moderate? how long did you leave because it might've been updating. I would leave it for a few minutes and if all fails, I would unplug it for a minute or so and try again. That's what my panic stricken mind would do but I'm sure a Mod will give you a link to read. I often wonder where do they find those links lol.
