Help Restore on Error 9

Hey!

I bought an used apple TV from somebody on the internet. 

The Apple TV is in DFU mode, but i cann’t restore it because always error 9 appears.

I tried 3 different USB Cables an two different Mac Computers (macbook Pro and imac) i also tried 

to do this in Windows 7. I am getting always the same error in itunes.

for a short time i got out of DFU mode an recognized that the apple TV is always rebooting in a loop.

Can somebody help to bring the device to life again? Can somebody tell me how to get out the firmware version running on this ATV?

 

Have you looked at this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9

Yes i did. Doesn’t help. :frowning:

 

the apple tv board is bad there is nothing that can be done with it. The person likely sold it to you for parts, so it can not be fixed.

Why do you think so?

 

because it can’t be fixed unless it’s opened
