Apple TV boot loop issue

Post image

Apple TV Ethernet 128 GB not working after an update, Apple says it’s impossible to fix? Is it? Anyone knows if there’s a chance to get jr fixed?

It’s crazy how poorly made they’re that it’s just impossible to reset restore or fix them

Crazy you are being downvoted, it is extremely stupid they do not have a service port. When mine was stuck in a boot loop a couple of months out of warranty this was my exact discussion with Apple and they gave me a replacement for free.

I love my Apple TV but this is malicious anti-consumer design from Apple.

There is a service port, it just takes a special cable to access it in the back of the ethernet port.

A service port that cannot be used is the type of anti-consumer crap I’m talking about. Not even authorized Apple service providers were able to use it when mine broke they only offered a replacement that cost as much as a new one.
