What you need

    • Use a spudger to pry the bottom panel off from the body. It is held on with clips on the inside, so you will need to make sure those are undone while opening.

    • The panel is held onto the device tightly, so you may need to be a bit forceful to remove it.

    Edit

    There are three clips on each side - short after the beginning of the rounding on each side, and one middle.
    The bottom panel is approx 5mm in height and a little bit flexible.

Hm. Has anyone’s Apple TV 4k logic board failed?

You’ll only be able to buy replacement boards on eBay or similar. I have successfully repaired a number of Apple TV 4K that had no power issues by fixing various shorted components.

Currently not possible to buy the board. But you can buy the power supply here. We have seen many problems with random restarting of apple TV 4K. Solution is to repair the board chip.
