  • The Apple TV has an NVIDIA G72M chipset with 64 MB DDR2 video RAM.

  • Interspersed throughout the pictures are troubleshooting tips from Apple for when hardware failure inevitably strikes.

  • Flashing question mark: As most Mac owners are aware, a flashing question mark means the Mac can't find the OS-- signifying a bad hard drive or corrupted OS. The same can happen with the Apple TV, but Apple's suggested remedy is taking it in to an Apple Store.

  • No video: The Apple TV defaults to HDMI, so make sure you don't have HDMI plugged in if you want to use component video.
