    Insignia NS-LCD37-09 Bad Processor?

    Hi all,

    I have an Insignia NS-LCD37-09 that appears to have what I believe is a bad main processor. The backlight and lcd screen don't turn on, the powerboard does not receive signal from the main board to turn on the backlight and the T-con board doesn't seem to get any power from the main board. All the voltages from the powerboard check ok and all regulators on the main board seem to be within 0.5V of the voltages specified in the service manual (link below). I have also checked the fuses for opens and capacitors for bulging, and there don't appear to be any.

    The tv will flash the red led 15 times, then stay solid. Upon turning on, the led changes to blue until the tv is powered down. I have tried shining a bright light into the panel, however there is no indication the LCD panel is displaying anything. I have tried using a heatgun to warm and reflow the main board, however it doesn't seem to have any effect.

    If you have any insight to this issue, please let me know. I am out of ideas.

    Woops, admin please move this to the tvs forum.

      I don't thinks thats the issue, I get the correct voltages coming from the power board.

          You can try heating the main processor with a hair dryer to see if it comes to life (bga solder joints)

            Heating the main processor with a hair drier did not fix it, but the red LED blinks 5 times when plugged in and 15 times after the set is turned off.

                Sorry, are you referring to simulating a signal to power on the powerboard and backlights?

                Yes, I was able to simulate the backlight on signal, and there was no display on the unit and the backlight did turn on

                    maybe try a firmware update if the tv is able to.

                      This TV doesn't seem to have a port to update the firmware through, although this manual reference "Zoran 770 software" on page 34. There is a reset button, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

                      Here is a link to the service manual specific to this unit: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...2&d=1371913189
