My Apple TV Does Not Turn On
Check for the white light on the front. If you do not see one, your AppleTV has probably frozen. Since there is no On/Off button, the only way to reboot the Apple TV is unplug it, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in.
If your AppleTV is not on, sending its signal, then your laptop or iPad will not show the settings explained in the rest of this tutorial.
