    Insignia solarized

    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

    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?

      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.

        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.

          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.

            Insignia NS-LCD019-09 issue: Power light turns blue for 3 seconds, the flashes red before going solid read again
            by cajoeg
            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...

            Insignia NS-LCD19-09 no standby LED; (new problem)
            by valvashon
            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...

            Insignia NS-32L430A11 backlight issue
            by arnard
            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...

            Insignia NS-50DR620NA18 w/ large vertical lines & no picture
            by srs
            I'm not sure what to do next and came here since y'all helped me fix a 50" plasma TV back in 2014, which is still working!

            A friend gave me an Insignia NS-50DR620NA18 50" TV that suddenly developed large vertical lines on it. He said he had no idea what might have caused it and has replaced it with a larger TV. He was going to throw it away.

            I did not notice any bulged or leaking caps on any board, the voltages produced by the power supply match the voltage that the pins are marked. The backlight leds are working. I have tried cleaning the ribbon cables...

            TV LG 26LV2500 color issue, solarized image
            by petobongo
            Hi, i have a LG 26LV2500 , i turned on the TV and the colors are awful, most likely solarized issue, already replaced the flex cable between board and TCON and did a reset, none of that worked.
            The mainboard is a EAX64280803.
            Can someone help me?

            Thank you in advance.
