C71KW-400 Will not factory reset

My legacy ATT TV ox will not finish booting up.  Shows the DIRECTV logo and then just fades away.  eventually times out and powers off.  Several attempts to press the little red button on the side for 20-30 seconds yields nothing but more of the same failed restarts.  I've tried to unplug and press the button about 20 times...  help.

When was the last time this C71KW box was booted up? It could have missed so many major updates (including an apparent server update) that the box no longer functions and is a paperweight

When they send you a PM/DM a box with lines in it appears at the top of this page near the bell icon, to send them a PM you need to go to one of DTV's social media pages.

These forums are pretty much useless if the techs will only say "send me a PM".
