    Insignia 5 dvd/surround sound system

    My friend's system that would fail to start up for about 5 minutes. He opened it up and found bad caps everywhere. The psu was completely full of bulging G-luxons, with a lone nichicon that was still good. It had a small 40mm fan that wasn't working for the psu. The main board had a 60mm fan that only kicked on when it got really cooking, so the caps on it were all bulging. Again, G-luxon, I-Q, and Hermei. About 80% of the caps in it were swollen.

    Unfortunately when he opened it up, he tore it apart. It probably would have worked with a recap. Too bad. Strangely, when I cut the leads for the little psu fan and hooked it up to a 12v battery, it spun right up and pushed some pretty good air.

      Insignia - is that the Best Buy house-brand? The quality of Insignia branded products is hugely variable, depending on who the OEM is. There are very good products, as well as plain crap, all under the same brand - similar to Radio Shack's old Realistic brand.

          what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

          i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

          Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
          by LEECH666
          Good day ladies and gentleman!

          I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

          This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

          I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

          Insignia Ns-l22x-10a no picture only sound
          by jose6326
          When i power on the tv a "please wait" image appears then goes away then nothing after that only sound

          When i was removing the back cover i heard a rattle.

          Removed the metal plate and the heat sink was off (see pic)
          would this cause a no picture/image issue?

          What is used to put back the heat sink

          Not all TVs can handle surround sound on a HDMI input
          by japlytic
          With a home theatre PC connected to a TV via HDMI, Windows reveals that the TV only supports stereo sound even though the TV has a HDMI ARC connection to an AV receiver which is powered on; I also had an issue that the AV receiver does not always retain the input setting for routing the HTPC video through to the TV in standby.
          So I connected a second HDMI cable to the HTPC and set it to duplicate the video outputs, but I had random audio dropouts when playing content with surround sound being passed to the AV receiver (dropouts did not occur when I replayed the content where it dropped...

          Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
          by Christos Tsiligiannis
          Hello to the forum.

          My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

          So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

          To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

          So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
