    Insignia LED TV - Won't turn on

    I am trying to repair a single-board LED Insignia TV.
    Model NS-39D220NA16

    When plugged-in, the red standby LED lights for about 1-second and then goes out. It will not come back on until unit is unplugged and then plugged back in.
    Rinse and repeat.

    I have no schematics and the board is not marked very well.
    On the underside of the board, I did find a test point for 1.15v Standby and that reads 1.17v.
    There is also a 5v Standby and that does read 5v.

    I have tested all diodes and they appear Ok as do the transistors that I could identify and check. (Tested using ohm readings and Diode mode)

    All caps look very good but I have not unsoldered and checked although I plan on doing that.

    Any suggestions on what to check next?

      Re: Insignia LED TV - Won't turn on

      You need to determine if the TV is turning on and off with no backlight or not turning on at all. If the TV turns on with no backlight, you probably have bad backlights. If the TV doesn't turn on at all, you possibly have a bad eeprom.

          Stndby LED turns off by itself in a second or less.
          Nothing happens when I press power button. I've used bright flashlight to check for image but there is nothing so I don't believe I have a picture.

          Is it possible to get a new eeprom or should I cut my losses and just get a replacement board?

          I think I've identified the eeprom as shown in attached pic.
          The chip is labeled 25Q32BSIG and appears to be a reprogrammable chip.

              With the TV unplugged, spray the eeprom with an upside down can of duster to cool it. Plug in the TV and see if it turns on.

                  Spraying (freezing) the eprom didn't work but I did notice that the Stndby LED went ON, OFF and then back ON for a few seconds. It went off again and TV would not turn on.

                  Since something different happened, I decided to put board in the freezer for a few minutes.
                  This time, the SB LED stayed on and the TV powered up Ok and I was able to navigate the menus, etc.

                  I let it run for 10-min. and then powered off.
                  SB LED went out and nothing would work after that.
                  Froze board again (a little longer this time) but no luck.

                  So the TV functionally works but it just refuses to power on consistently.
                  The end user did say that they could get the TV working sometimes if they plugged in and out many times so I think I just got lucky on that one time.

                  I also let it on for a few minutes and felt many components and nothing seemed warm or hot to touch.

                  Any other thoughts before I just replace the board?

                      Do oyu have an eprom programmer and better also a chip clip? If yes put it in the freezer then read the flash in a hurry then rewrite it on, retry, if this doesn't work try the reflow on the cpu, or pressing on it with a shim under the board in the menatime you turn on the set.

                          You can reprogram the eeprom with a cheap ch341 usb programmer.

                          The processor doesnt have a heatsink and is not bga so no point in reflowing it.

                              Thanks for tips.
                              I have ordered a replacement eeprom for my TV model from ShopJimmy.com.

                                  The replacement eeprom fixed the TV!
                                  Thanks very much for suggesting that.

                                          Hi guys, I’m back here my friend give me her tv, that doesn’t turn on and no standby red led. When u plug in the cord the red led of one two second is on, then turn off. If you push the power button or the remote the red led blinks but nothing happen. I give u some photo with voltage, don’t look the fuse….because I blow it for mistake nd I dint have the right replace so I just put it for test the tv. The standby voltage should be 11,88 volt on the diode, but I have 13 volts. I put in the photo the different volts I test and there are someone negative…I don’t know if it s normal. On...

                                          by madsox
                                          Greetings!

                                          Thank you in advance for your understanding, I am writing to you through a translator.

                                          A Harman Kardon AVR171S amplifier was given.

                                          The history of the machine is as follows:
                                          It was faulty when I bought it, I want to fix it.
                                          I replaced the HDMI switch and one of the DAC ICs in it.
                                          After that it worked without a problem.

                                          I watched a movie using the amplifier, and at the end the amplifier got really hot.
                                          The cooling was faulty, I will fix this later.
                                          I switched it to standby mode, waited for...

                                          Hello, i have some issues with my laptop Lenovo Y700-17ISK (motherboard BY511 NM-A541), it started when i turn on the laptop, but the lcd wont turn on, i then connected it via hdmi to tv and screen was ok. So i thought maybe lcd stripe is faulty, i removed the bottom cover, disconnected main battery, reset the cmos by disconnecting battery for 1 min, then slighty move the lcd stripe. Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited...

                                          Samsung LN32B540 - won’t turn on but gets standby power
                                          by Doodle43
                                          My Samsung LN32B540 never turned back on after I had to turn off the power at the mains at house. It won't turn on, but the red standby led lights up when it is plugged in. If I hold down the power on the remote, the standby light turns off which I think means it is trying to turn on, but there's no sound or backlight. If I try to turn it on/off from the power button on the TV instead, it doesn't do anything at all.

                                          It was plugged into a surge suppressor and was off (on standby) when I turned off the power,, so I don't know if it got a power surge or was on its way out anyway. I...

                                          Troubleshooting Vestel TV, has standby, but cannot turn ON
                                          by Adenitz
                                          Hello,
                                          I need advice in troubleshooting Telefunken TV (it is actually Vestel). There is red Standby light but TV cannot be turned on either by remote control (which is good and tested on another TV) or by actual on/off switch at the back of the TV.
                                          Power board is Vestel 17IPS71 and I'm not sure about the mainboard, it seems like 17MB82S
                                          Both boards are shown in the attached photos.

                                          What is normally first that is checked in this case. I have removed power board, make sure it has no dangerous voltage on the big caps and check many components (transistors and diodes)...
