I was given a Insignia NS-L46X-10A. It works fine for about an hour then the picture slowly solarizes. Takes about 2 hours to completely distort. Does anyone know what would cause this? I'm thinking T con but I've never had this happen. My experience has been solarized at startup. Thanks

Re: Insignia solarized
Check and see how hot the Gamma IC gets to be too hot to touch, try cooling it with freeze spray, or use canned air duster upside down for cooling.
Does the Gamma IC have thermal transfer pad on top?Last edited by budm; 04-14-2016, 01:19 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Insignia solarized
what gamma IC is on there? maybe you can post a high resolution, straight shot picture of your Tcon board with the rubber pads removed.Comment

Re: Insignia solarized
Tv has been on for 3 hours now but not completely solarized. You can see some barely. The IC has a thermal pad, but not hot at all.Comment

Re: Insignia solarized
handsworth, did you try replacing the T-con? I have the same problem. Curious if you were able to solve this problem. I'm tempted to try a t-con as well, but they are around $60-70.00 on ebay.Comment

Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.
The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV... -
Having a new problem with the 19" Insignia that I modified with one of my automatic turn on circuits. That is now completely disconnected so that is not the issue. I was doing some modifications on that circuitry and managed to short something out on the underside of the power board.
Actually found and bought the service manual (who knew it was even available?!) which brought me to the High Voltage Startup Circuit controller chip.
Looking up that chip number- LD7575APS brought me to the attached datasheet. I have marked my voltage readings on the schematic sheet (open in new... -
There is voltage on the bridge rectifier and main caps (163V). Fuses all check good. One of the smaller electrolytic caps (C9112 which is 50V, 100uF) looked bloated, it measured 60uF with one tester, and defective with another. I replaced it temporarily with same uF rating, higher voltage since I don't have the exact one. I also found that one of the switching mosfets (for lower voltage DC supply I think) was shorted. It is a 50R800CE which I didn't have, but had something with the same voltage and current rating and a similar Rds. None of these fixes helped. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions... -
Eventually discovered a burn mark near lower corner of LCD. Here is a summary- Backlight on, no image
- Disconnect right buffer board (view from front), left side display comes on
- Masked off pin 7+8 (both ~12,5v on both left and right buffer board) from t-con to right buffer board (view from front) display works but have some lines
- Buffer board is pretty simple

I have a weird backlight issue on the above Insignia Plasma that I am coming up empty on researching.
The display is darker on the left than on the right side of the screen. It uses 4 U shaped plasma tubes. I have had it apart deep enough to tell you that the tubes are bright as they should be at the electrode ends but dim as they get to and go around the bend.
Since it is all 4 tubes it seems like it would be an inverter/backlight board but obviously can't be a blown up component as it does still somewhat work. I'm thinking low voltage but no idea where to go beyond...06-10-2023, 01:36 AM
