No light - no power - no apple tv

I installed my Apple TV two days ago and it worked fine.  Today I can't power it up.  When I go to the input on my TV I see a pic of the Apple TV with a micro USB cable leading to an iTunes icon.  What does this mean? 
Incidentally, the Apple TV did not come with a micro USB cable, so I guess if this is a necessity to continuing use of my Apple TV I'm SOL until I get one?
I searched for power issues and found this:

So I'm updating iTunes to see if that works, then following the restore steps.

  • Envy 15t j000 no lights, no power

    My envy 15t won't power up and shows no LED lights at power cord connection.  I've tried the hard restart and still nothing.  I tested the AC power adapter with a multimeter and it is working. 

    Hello @fisher329 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your ENVY 15t does not power up.
    If you have confirmed the adapter is functional you have an internal power problem. This could be the internal power connector or the motherboard. 
    For this you will need to contact HP Phone Support for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Keep using it untill it powers off, then charge it to full to re-calibrate the battery.
    If problem persist, maybe your battery needs to be replaced.

  • Macbook Pro power issues; Dim charging light, limited power.

    So I'm having some serious concerning issues with my 15" MBP while connected to AC power. Recently my AC adapter gave out so I bought a replacement on ebay. While waiting for it to arrive I used a borrowed a 65W charger to charge between uses, which as I understand should not be an issue especially when only charging. At some point the charge light on the 65W began showing only a very dim green. It still worked fine on the Macbook.
    Upon receiving my new adapter and plugging it in, I observed the dim light again and decided to try and see what was going on. The system profiler registered a charger present but not charging, but the battery seemed to charge regardless. When using the computer on AC power, battery life would decrease slowly and it would eventually fall into sleep mode when the battery hit zero. Something that seemed to be accelerating from what I imagine to be the battery on its last legs as it had been giving a "Service battery" warning for a few months before this. Eventually the computer began to shut down and attempt to restart immediately on startup with the battery, and operated on AC only, without the battery, as long as I didn't use any applications that demanded high performance from the CPU.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC with no avail.
    Well, I just received a new battery in the mail (not that I expect it to fix the main issue), and I'm hesitant to try to charge it.
    Basically, what I'm wondering is should I be worried about damaging the new battery with what seems likely to be a damaged charging circuit?
    Also, from what I gather, this problem is usually related to the left I/O board where the magsafe and charging circuit is.
    Is there any way to determine where the fault is for sure before I go buying replacement parts? My hope right now is that it is in fact the I/O board and not the logic board because of the cost of a new logic board and the fact that I could easily replace the I/O myself.
    Any insight at all is greatly appreciated.

    Here's a link for troubleshooting the power adaptor:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    Also check for any debris in the power port which may be keeping the adaptor from making good contact.
    It's always possible the power adaptor from EBay is faulty. You need to try a known good on, like a working one that a friend has or one at the Apple Store.
    Is the new battery a genuine Apple battery or a third party battery. Third party batteries can be difficult to get working. I have one from OWC that's like that--it takes its time to begin charging instead of starting to charge in a second or two.
    The best way to troubleshoot all this is to try a known good battery and a known good power adaptor. Your new ones are still in unknown condition. If you have a friend with the same Mac who has known good battery and power adaptor, you can try those in your Mac--and yours in the other Mac, and narrow down the possibilities.
    If the Mac fails to charge even with a known good battery and power adaptor, there's a good chance that the I/O Board is bad. But I don't know of a definitive test that would tell you for sure.
    Good luck!

  • TC solid AMBER LIGHT then dies. Apple won't help.

    Over the weekend my time capsule powered off. When I tried to restart it, it went to a solid amber light for 15-30 seconds, and then died.
    I unplugged it for half an hour, same problem, unplugged it overnight, same problem.
    Soft reset won't work, hard reset won't work. Can't access it with ethernet.
    Tried factory reset many times, solid amber light starts to blink, then when I release reset button (having held it for various amount of time) it goes solid amber, for a split second it sounds like it might start, then dies. No light. D E A D.
    So, I've researched it online, and it seems a little different to the heat / power issue. I call Apple support, and the first tech just tries to order me a new one. My serial number 819 however prevents this. So a senior advisor comes on to tell me it can't be replaced. He get's cut off....
    So I call back, and the tech reads the notes and basically tells me there is nothing that can be done, and is quite blasé about the whole thing. He offers me no advice and makes no attempt to diagnose the problem, just tells me it's done and I need to buy a new one as I don't have applecare.
    I point out (nicely) it's only two years old, I expected more, it's supposed to be server grade, etc.
    He replies "It's only a hard drive" which I found very interesting. ONLY A HARD DRIVE? So why did I pay $340 for it? He also tells me I should have backed up my back ups. So how many "server grade" back ups do I need to make? I need to buy 5 time capsules to back up my macbook incase 4 of them just give up suddenly? He also says that it's an electronic device and electronic devices fail. Just like that. May as well have just said "Tough luck, buddy!"
    Later he tries to retract that statement and puts me through to another senior advisor. Predictably she tells me the same thing. No offer of repair or attempts to diagnose problem, just it's finished. She was as nice as she could be about it, but that's the conclusion. Eventually after I explained I was disappointed with this attitude, she said maybe I could take it to the genius bar to have the information taken off and moved to a new TC.
    So basically, my new drive will be costing me in the region of $700 (given that my original $340 TC is only good for the trash).
    My current thinking is I shall try and retrieve the data myself, use one of my other much, much cheaper external HD's that have been running flawlessly for years as a back up, and wait to see if Apple start to issue replacements for my serial number.
    Ultimately I don't want a free replacement TC, I'd rather mine worked. I was expecting a better service, at least an attempt to make me feel like this was out of the ordinary, or they were concerned about me buying more Apple products in the future.... I was also expecting a server grade HD to last more than two years.....
    Anyway, stepping off my soap box..... If anyone has any suggestions how I can get this going, or what the cause might be please before I try and retrieve the data myself.
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem while doing a backup.  My Capsule is a 2008 model, but an "818" in the serial number so it's not part of the recall.
    THIS IS HOW I RETREIVED MY DATA FROM MY DEAD TIME CAPSULE:
    Put time capsule in Zip-lock freezer bag and suck all the air out of the bag using a straw.
    Put time capsule into deep freezer for a few hours. (the zip lock is to stop/reduce humidity on the electronics inside the capsule)
    Remove from freezer, cross your fingers and plug it in.
    On mine, after the solid yellow light went out, there was loud fans and lots of noise.  Let it boot for a couple minutes and either connect to it wireless/ethernet and start transferring your data.  Depending on how cold your freezer is (deep freeze is usually -18C/0F and house freezer is -9C/15F) will probably depend on how long the TC is up and running.  Mine ran for 45min straight, then i was done transferring and left it to see if it was fully operational again.  Checked back on it an hour later and the drive had stopped and the light was off...
    You could even try to run it from inside the freezer as well...
    GOOD LUCK!!

  • Power Outage - Apple Cinema Not Turning On

    Hello,
    We had a power outage and after electricity came back I tried to turn on my computer. The G4 starts but somehow my Apple Cinema does not come on (the light does not turn on).
    Any suggestions what I should do to fix it?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Unplug the USB and firewire connectors on your monitor cable from the G4. Cycle the power on your computer and hit the power button on your monitor. I think it will now work fine, but it will require you to shut it off/on, like you would for other monitors.
    Works for me. The G4/G5 uses the USB port as the communication link to the monitor to turn it off or on. Take this link out of the loop and the display will work fine, but it will now require your manual control. Take a look at the preferences for the display. With the USB cable plugged in, the options tab is seen. Disconnect the USB and the tab is not there (after a reboot). Hence the USB is more than an extension cord to your monitor sockets, its a remote control for the monitor. Note... Apple care has no knowledge of this. I figured it out by unpluging cables and what'ya know, the monitor came to life!

    I have had and currently do have a similar problem
    with my G4 and Cinema HD display; the power goes out
    and the display does not go on.
    Typically I have simply had to unplug the Power
    Adapter, Firewire, and USB cables, wait a few minute
    and plug it back in and the Cinema display’s light
    comes on , as well as the display. However as of
    yesterday this trick does not work. The G4 does work
    with my old Sony display so does this suggest that
    the video card in the G4 is OK? Could the 90w Power
    adaptor be the problem?
    Ideas?

  • Ipad 2 screen randomly gone blank shows dark blue light up but no apple logo upon restart and remains the same.

    Hey
    So I left my Ipad 2 on charge and it was working absolutely fine. Later on when I came in the room to check up on it, it had a blank screen and the Ipad was lit in the background as it was giving off the dark blue light but nothing on the screen would come up. I tried shutting it down using the power button and the home button yet nothing. Even the Apple logo would not appear. I just recently upgraded to IOS 6. I'm not sure what exactly caused this as it was working fine just a few hours ago. I've tried connecting to itunes held down the power and home button nothing seems to be working. Also I no longer have the warrenty.
    Not sure what to do now

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
