Insignia 37" LCD Flat-Panel HDTV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The problem could either be with the HDMI cable or with the (either tv or laptop connection ports). There could be a few other factors to consider, but I would try a new cable if you happen to have one lying around.

With the model# and date of manufacture I, or others might be able to help better. • Generally, Most of the insignia TV's are manufactured by Lucky Electronics and have some amount of problems on the main board. The power supply filter is likely drying out it's capacitors as they use caps that are to close in rating to their actual voltage. IE 25 volt caps in a 24.5 volt circuit. (We replace them with 35 volt.) This causes flakey actions. Try unplugging the set for an hour, and try it again. It may work, but for how long? IF it works, you should replace all the caps in the power supply area, about 10. You can be sure that one is bad if it is swelled up, dome shaped on top, or hot.

Set-up (Programming) procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical and it will differ brand-to-brand remote controls. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. It has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. The site has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order.

There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality. This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device. Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; that you want the set-up codes, in the "Search box at the top right of the display window" to get gathered related posts.

Hi
Its tuner has been damaged. Lightning stroke will have Trillions of volts when it hit the earth. No electrical houlhold equipent can withstand it. Evan a part of it is efficiant to damage the tuner and other sections of a TV; designed to work with 120V or 220VAC. The induced voltage that came through the cable of by the antenna, surely had damaged your TVs tuner. If tuner has been damaged, the set will not get any signal to process. According to your description, all the other sections are working now. Otherwise you won't get any screen at all. Get it repaired by any experienced service technican or by the Authorised Service Center for Insigina at your town. If you are able to, you can do it yoursef. But after tuner replacement, some adjustments may have to be done. If you have knoledge in digital electronics, measuring equuipments, and a concept of soldering, dare to do it. Otherwise it will be best to get it repaired by any experienced service person. OK

your power sopply needs replasted

We would be happy to help get that fixed right away. Thefirst thing we want to ensure is that all connected equipment is on. Check whattype of cable is used to connect the TV to the receiver. If you are using a coax cable to connect the receiver toTV1, check the receiver's back panel for the output name. If your receiver hasa "TV CH 3/4 out":Tune TV to channel 3 or channel 4, if it is labeled "Home Distribution": TuneTV to channel 62 or 75. If using non-Coax (RCA, Component, or HDMI) to connect receiver to TV1,cycle through the inputs until picture appears; Most TVs have a "TV/Video", "Input", or"Source" button. We also want to ensure that the TV and thereceiver are connected properly, please visit this link to for moreinformation: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/setup-receiver-totv.Once we have made sure everything is connected properly, unplug receiver for 10seconds then plug it back in, this will reset the receiver. If we are still notgetting a picture connect another component (VCR, DVD Player, etc.) to the sameTV, using same cable, same input, and same channel to see if it works. If youget a picture with the other component give us a call at 1-800-333-DISH (3474)for some additional troubleshooting. If it doesn't work with the othercomponent then replace the cable that was used.

We hope these steps get the color back on your DISH Network programming. We want to thank you for being a valuedDISH Network customer!

I've repaired a few Insignia's with cold solder joints on the IR receiver in that model. If it's not that then the Main board has to be replaced. Not worth it if it is.
