Fire Cube reboots constant reboots after dropping it.
Yep, I'm an idiot. Moving TV about and dropped the Fire Cube, after it switches on with the Fire TV logo, it just reboots all the time. Get the Dolby logo on bottom right and occasionally get the home screen. Tried different HDMI cables/ports but still the same.
Kids have misplaced the remote, using the TV remote to control it so a bit hard to do a factory reset without it.
Apart from buying a new device,any suggestions as money is a bit tight as had an unexpected bill come through.

While you could try to open it up and see if you could do a solder repair job yourself it's still not likely to be successful by the nature of cheap mass produced tech these days.
It's less than ideal, but if you have a smart TV maybe you can use that for the time being? It will probably be laggy, and may not get updated so some services may no longer work if it's a few years old but it's better than nothing if you can't afford it.
And failing that, rather than buying another cube, you could buy yourself a stick instead which tends to be much cheaper. You can get a Fire Stick lite for £34.99 right now, and if you trade in your broken cube you can get 20% off that price, plus a £10 Amazon Gift Card on top for example.
