How do I fix an unresponsive Apple TV? 

When you confront an issue with your Apple TV that shows it unresponsive due to technical faults, you need to know the technical troubleshooting guidance and fix it promptly. To avoid doubts, go through the simple steps below.

• If your Apple TV is not turning on, then unplug both ends of the HDMI cable and completely plug them back in. You can also take the help of a different HDMI cable if the previous one causes the issue. 
• If it is HDMI 2.1, then you can use an Ultra high-speed HDMI cable; for HDMI 2.0, you can use a premium high-speed cable. Then, in the TV menu, you can choose the HDMI input that can smoothly plug inside the HDMI port linked to the Apple TV. 
• You unplug your TV and your Apple TV from the power source, then plug it back into its port. In case you are taking the help of a receiver or HDMI switch, these may be causing the issue. You can connect your Apple TV directly to the TV port rather than using the receiver or HDMI switch. 
• If the Apple TV home screen appears, connect your receiver or HDMI switch one at a time. After each additional device is redirected, check that the home screen is still on your TV. You can check the receiver manual for further assistance. 
• If the Apple logo appears along with the black screen, press and hold the back button, press the volume down button for at least 6 seconds, then release the button. You can switch the Apple TV to a new resolution every 20 seconds, then select OK to select a solution or Cancel to quit.
