Android TV stuck on bootloader screen

[Android Central Question]

I ran `adb reboot bootloader` on my Android TV (via WiFi) and the screen went black. Now I can't boot back into Android. I know I have to run `fastboot reboot` but how do I connect to my TV? USB A -> C isn't working. TV has only 1 button (power) on it so I can't do the usual volume down + power.

I moved this to the Android TV forum for more specific traffic.

Try holding the power button down until it reboots. Or unplug the power, let it sit for a minute (pushing the power button with the power disconnected will drain it faster) then power it up and it should boot normally. (The same as any Android device.)

Pushing the power button doesn't actually do anything when the TV is on and in bootloader mode. TV was unplugged all night and plugging it back in now hasn't changed anything.
