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

Insignia 37 inch....no sound after lightning storm and HDMI's are not working

Dude! You fried it! Sound board can be replaced, but what else was stressed? Replace it, use a good surge protector, and turn the thing off during storms, light a candle and cuddle with your sweetie.

Only one (out of four total) HDMI input is working on my set.

The HDMI switcher IC chips in TVs can be damaged but lighting hits near you house even if the power is protected with a surge protector. The damaging power comes in through the HDMI port and blows the chip out and it can affect just one port or multiple HDMI ports. Your best bet would be to just get a cheap HDMI switcher and use the one working port. The repair on the TV would require placing the control board and would run from $75-150 for parts plus the labor to install it.

Lightning Storm messed up one HDMI Input

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

HDMI no longer output after lightning storm. ps3 still has all the data and can still output in composite. tried resetting and reboot and still not working

I would try another device that uses HDMI output and plug it into that HDMI tv input to ensure that it is not your tv that is at fault. If the TV is fine, more than likely something in your PS3 got fried. This is actually a common issue with the PS3 as you can see here:

http://www.ps3chat.com/playstation-3-hardware/7353-lightning-storm-ps3-hdmi-stopped-working.html

If your tv is fine you will more than likely have to call up Sony for a repair or a replacement. Lightning can do damage to any electronic device from up to miles away. EMF damage is a nasty thing. It used to wreak all kinds of havoc for the wireless internet company I used to work for.

I hope this helps! If it does, please give it a thumbs up!

Lightning storm and all hdmi connections stopped working

It may be a problem with the DVRs. You can rule that out by connecting a different HDMI TV to one of the DVRs.

Blue ray wont play movies on new tv

Are you sure the tv is 1080p capable? Usually when "mode is not supported" is displayed, it means that the tv can not handle the signal format that is being input to it. If you are using HDMI, then signal formatting is usually handled automatically. If you are using component video, you will probably have to tell the PS3 to step down the signal to either 1080i or 720p.
