Apple TV2 Not restoring - Unknown Error 14

My ATV2 started showing blank screen (while constantly trying to choose either 720p or 480p), with it's LED blinking rapidly. I've tried to restore / reset it with the remote and in iTunes.
Nothing works.
When connected, when I connect the ATV2 to my TV, it shows the iTunes logo and usb cable????
ATV shows in iTunes (via micro usb), I can start the restore procedure, but at the point of 'Verifying Apple TV restore with Apple' restore drops with the error message  'The Apple TV could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)'.
ATV has not been jailbroken. Latest update was about a month ago...
Is there something I'm missing?

Sorry.  Not a great answer but I think it might be dead.  If you can not restore it even from iTunes I am not aware of any other options to get it working again.  You might try a different USB cable, and make sure the USB port is free of corrosion.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    When I search for the error code, everything leads to articles about the device being jailbroken, which would mean Apple doesn't support that device anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

  • "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Living Room Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (406)."

    This error message keeps popping up overtime I try to play an iTunes bought tv show from my mac book pro to my apple tv "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Living Room Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (406)."
    Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it. Both devices are registered on the same apple id and password. This problem just started happening within the last week or so but prior to that everything was working as it should have. In fact since the launch of icloud things have been glitchy for me with purchasing and playing off the apple tv as well.
    Can someone please help?'
    Thanks

    Unfortunately Apple's error codes are very much a mystery (at least to me), try restarting the Apple TV, iPad and router. If that doesn't help look into whether you might be encountering interference on your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (-15000).

    Hi ,
    I acquired an Apple TV (Gen3) a couple of days ago.
    The Apple TV seems to be connected properly to WIFI (Good signal)
    I watched streaming videos on Youtube and film trailers – the speed is ok.
    I followed the protocol but, still, I cannot connect Itunes to the Apple tv.
    These are the error messages:
    On the TV : apple tv could not connect to library
    In Itunes: An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
                    Please note that Apple TV doesn’t appear in the list of devices in Itune’s preferences menu.
    The Home Share is enabled on both devices and I connected with the Same Apple ID on each device.
    Airplay is on.
    Ref Apple TV :
    Apple tv: Model MD199HC/A
    Serial number DY******RHN
    apple tv software : 5.3(6105)
    Imac: OS X version 10.8.4
    I already tried to :
    Unplug/plug modem and router
    Test connectivity
    Disable the Firewall
    Re-enable the firewall with Itunes in the list of ‘allowed’ devices
    Re-set Apple TV (3 times) + Up to date
    Re-start Apple TV and computer several time
    Itunes is up to date
    Could you please help?
    Many Thanks

    Hi all,
    Thanks for your comments.
    In my knowledge, there isn't any security software active on my computer.
    After re-setting my routeur several times, I finally swapped it against an Airport Time Capsule.
    It solved the problem, however, I would be interested to know if a (less expensive) solution exists.

    99% because your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. We cannot help you, see terms of use.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
