Insignia 26" LCD TV/DVD Combo display problem

My Insignia 26" LCD TV/DVD Combo has a display problem when you turn it on it is very bright, changes to verticle stripes after about 10 minutes of "warm up" you begin to see a egraded picture and after a little more warm-up the picture finally comes through clear. I am past my warrenty period but I would like to fix the TV rather than throw it away.
1) can someone tell me what the problem is
2) identify the part that needs replacment and the cost
3) estimate repair cost if I brought it in to be fixed
Thank you

Try setting the input to antenna and then scanning. If that doesn't work, you will need to get a tuner box.

22CV1000 Toshiba LCD TV/DVD combo: Sound but no display

I am having problems with my 22CV1000 Toshiba LCD TV/DVD combo!
When I turn the tv on, it sounds like it is trying to read a DVD. The display appears for second, but then goes black. I still have sound, just no display.
The Toshiba help line told me to unplug and replug the tv - but that did not help.
I would really appreciate your advice!

At this point, I think you should call support back. It sounds like it might need a repair.

19" lcd dynex tv/dvd combo problem

I am wondering if anyone can help me with this.
I have 2 19" lcd tv/dvd combo... one in each kids room. I mounted em up on the wall so the kids couldn't mess with them.
So now heres my problem, both of the tvs when turned on turn off then back on then back off... continuous
Ive unplugged em, tried pushing different buttons. Still nothing.

Both of them?
Really? Both?
Now that's odd.
That sort of thing makes you think it's an external problem (not relating to the TV) - but let me ask you this, did they start doing it at the same time or did one do it, and then the other later on? If so, what changes did you make if any?

Insignia LED-LCD HDTV Model: NS-32E570A11

I am Handicapped & Disabled & Must be hooked up to medical experiment for 6-7 hours a day & remain in bed & awake during this time. I purchased this TV : Insignia LED-LCD HDTV Model: NS-32E570A11
after my 7 month old Dynex™ - 32" Class / 720p / 60Hz D/ LCD HDTV DVD Combo
Model:DX-32LD150A11 refused to hold & recognize in it's memory HD channels. Guess I should have read the posts from other Dynex users, cuz there are a lot of problems with Dynex.
Even one of the Managers at my Best Buy store told me that her Dynex same exact TV did the exact same thing.   I am hoping that once repair is done that I will get a "RA" number so I can get some of my money back on this insignia TV.
I do not See any difference with the Insigna TV & it is not as clear at home as it was in the store.
I have Time Warner cable with extended basic cable & within the last 6 months TWC had installed much larger cables underground & the cable is not the problem.
I did notice that in the store they only had very few channels.   Do they "Tweak" the channels in the store &/or power them differently to get sharper clearer images??
I am ready to take the LED Insignia TV back next time I am in town as it is 26 miles each way to get to the closest store.
I should be able to buy a TV & not have to worry that it is going to die on me. My old 36"Toshiba with a big tube lasted 16+ years.
Any suggestions on "RELIABLE" LCD 32" TV's that I can afford on just my SS income??

Stores do nothing to "tweak" channels in the store. TVs have many dozens of settings that can be changed by a user at home, and sometiems have presets to switch between certain values that the manufacturer has deemed "optimal" for certain viewing situations. If none of the preset settings offer the picture you desire, you will either need to learn how to change the settings to fit your viewing situation, or pay for a professional calibration.
It took me almost 6 months before I got my TV settings the way that I wanted them to be, using the calibration settings on various Disney DVDs, Star Wars DVDs, and special calibration DVDs, and constantly having a critical eye for everything I watched. After all of that time and effort, my TVs are about as close to profesionally calibrated as I can get them.
Have you had Time Warner out to the house to verify that it's not actually a cable problem? Just because they put "bigger cables" in the ground doesn't mean that the signal to your home is any better. Most cable and satellite companies compress their signal quite a bit on HD, and the quality suffers as a result.

Cannot program tv/dvd combo 32" Insignia brand on fios remote

I purchasesd a Best Buy brand Insignia 32" tv/dvd combo. I was able to program the fios remote for the tv portion, but was unable to program the dvd. I used the method for both the tv and the dvd where you enter 922, etc. and scroll. The tv programming worked the first time, but the dvd programming failed after several attempts. I pressed fast forward each time until the remote flashed that it was finished. I tried the dvd programming with a dvd playing. Anybody have a solution to my problem? Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem on my insignia. The problem is that tv/dvd or tv/vcr combo units are notoriously hard to get inexpensive remotes to work on. Its due to it being a combo unit. Combo units do not use "standard codes" (most of the time).
Unfortunatly if you have already done the scan mode on the remote, it is not likely going to work with the verizon remote. Getting a generic universal remote and programming it to the verizon stb may be your only hope of getting everything on one remote

T23 with CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive problem

I have had my T23 for several years. It came with a DVD/ROM and floppy drive when I purchased it from IBM (not Lenovo). It has served me well but I needed a RW drive, so over Christmas I purchased a new ultrabay 2000 CD-RW/DVD Combo (p/n 22P6991) in the States. The drive can be seen from My Computer, Windows Explorer and Device Manager.
I copied one image (23kb jpeg) from my PC to the drive using Windows Recording Software and it worked. I then tried to move a folder with about 10 jpeg images to the same CD-RW. The images disappeared from the C:/ drive and sit in a virtual storage area (I assume) waiting to be transferred. The CD-RW with one jpeg on it is in the drive and I get a message from the windows writing wizard informing me that there is no disc in the drive. The disc is no longer recognized.
I browsed the forum and found a reference to DLA. I do not have any Sonic DLA software installed. In searching Support and Downloads on the Lenovo Site I see an upgrade to dla521 build 01c (dla521b01u.exe) for 22P6991. As I do not have the base software to upgrade, how do I get the base software? Apparently it is shipped in IBMTools/apps if the device came with the PC.
I may even be chasing the wrong solution here. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Sure would appreciate it.
My system:   T23 Notebook 2647-8RU   512RAM 40G HD   CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo (Ultrabay 2000)

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your response, I very much appreciate it. I have DeepBurner installed. I assume it to be much the same as Easy CD Creator and Nero... though Nero is huge! I did select multisession on before I did the first copy.
As an aside, I have noticed that there is no format command for the CD (I am using brand new CD-RW discs). Using the CDs right out of the box rendered the file system as CDFS after I wrote the first file to the disc using Windows CD Record. The disc is now unusable.
For DLA ... I did some web searching and found that the CD-RW/DVD combo comes with file   q1dla1us13.exe . It is not on the Lenovo download site. I did not get a CD installation disc with my purchase. Lenovo phone support tells me to buy DLA.
Update:   I have given up on DLA. I downloaded CDBurnerXP and used it. It was simple to use and it did the job. My concern about not being able to format the drive prior to using it was not an issue afterall.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.

I called Apple about the 20" iMac display problem today...

I have the same display problem that I've been reading about here, it's much much brighter on the bottom of my screen than on the top and viewing the screen from an angle makes the screen look very dusty and dirty.
First I talked to technical support and because I live 75 miles from an Apple store, he said a technician would come and look at it tomorrow even though I said it was a problem that is very common and just not on my computer. It will be interesting to see what the technician says.
Then I called customer relations to put in a formal complaint against the 20" iMac screens. I told the man that even on the Apple support forums here that everyone was complaining about it. He said everyone where he worked was using 20" iMacs and as he looked at the screens next to him, he noticed that the colors were all off, looking dirty brown like mine. He said that's just how the new 20" screens were. I tried my best to tell him that it just wasn't right that the screens were so flawed and, although he kind enough and understanding, he didn't see any big problem with them.
He did submit my formal complaint at the end but I have to tell you all, it sure looks like Apple does not see any problem with these screens. He suggested that I write to Apple at their corporate office to let them know of these problems. Here is that address:
Apple
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
So that's my next step, writing to the corporate office.
I'll update this post after the technician comes tomorrow. I really don't expect this to be fixed but I shall let everyone know.
Martha

I have been watching this forum for months and have come to a conclusion that Apple
has taken the "easy road" by using cheaper components as evidenced by these discussions pertaining to cheap lcd computer screens. Also, with the Imac there is limited upgrade paths and the fact now
the imac has become more of a glorified computer with the internals of a laptop which suggests it is almost mandatory to pay extra for apple care for 3 year warranty because of uncertainty for longevity in my opinion. I am still using an apple 2002 quicksilver G-4 computer almost 6 years old that has not given me and problem. I have also been able to upgrade the hard drive, dvd rom drive myself-you cannot readily do with the current imacs. I was thinking about replacing my G-4 with an Imac, but have now come to the conclusion that Apple is losing focus with providing quality products and unless something drastic happens which I doubt, Apple will lose me as a future customer. I may be forced to go to the other side and buy a PC.

Combo Drive Problems

I just installed the IDE CDRW/DVD combo drive and the PowerDVD software that came with it. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get my DVDs to play correctly. After about 10 minutes the playback goes buggy on me. It sort of crashes. By that I mean the DVD will go start over at the beginning (the studio logo part). I played the disc on two other players and it works fine. I also tried using another disc, and I experienced the same problem. The thing kind of resets. Further attempts have resulted in crashes and lock ups. I attempted playing the disc with PowerDVD and Windows Media Player. I made sure the drive was set to DMA and I did flash the drive BIOS. The hardware manager for the OS says the device is functioning properly. Anybody have any suggestions? Is this a hardware or a software issue?

Okay, I reinstalled the OS, installed WinDVD 4 and tested the discs. So I concluded that the problem was solved by reinstalling the OS. I assumed it would be safe to install PowerDVD 5. I did that and tested the disc and look what happens. Same old problem. I uninstalled it but still have the same problem! All that hassle of backing up my old data, reinstalling the OS...and the suffering. Oh the suffering.
At this point I think I'll just roll over and play dead. Fine...I can't watch Underworld on my deskbox past chapter 3...strangely, Matrix used to skip backward too, but that problem seems to have gone away.
I saw Wonkanoby's post about the new Nforce drivers...I picked those up...no help. I've pretty much done everything I can think about. At one point I've even taken the drive back and exchanged it for a new one. All updated drivers...DirectX 9...WinUpdated all current...really, nothing I can think of short of getting a new drive. But...it works fine for some discs?!
I think I'm going insane...man...look at this thread...I must be insane...I've spent a great majority of it talking to myself...

Weird event display problem in week view

Hi. I'm getting a weird display problem in week view. First time this has ever happened.
Some events appear to be missing, but when i double click on where I know the event is supposed to be, a new event is created (as excepted), and the missing events suddenly appear. When i move forward or back by a week, and then return to the week in question, the missing events are gone again. But, I can see the missing events in day view or month view.
Any ideas?

Dean,
Next, try reinstalling the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
If that is unsuccessful:
1. Use iCal>Export...>for each one of your individual calendars.
2. Delete all but one of your calendars.
3. Create a calendar and name it "Test."
4. Delete the calendar which remained after step #2.
5. Quit iCal.
6. Remove the iCal plist, and drag the iCal plist file to your Desktop.
7. Log out/in or restart.
8. Restart iCal and use iCal>File>Import...for each one of the calendars that you exported in step #1.
9. Delete the "Test" calendar, and any "Home/Work" calendar which was automatically created when you opened iCal in step #8.
;~)

VCR/DVD combo (maybe without a tuner) to use with a converter box?

The VCR that I've been using is starting to chew up tapes so I'm looking for a replacement. I've had my eye on a Magnavox ZV426MG9 VCR/DVD tunerless combo since the manual I looked up online indicated that it could be connected to a converter box. However, some negative customer reviews of that unit and the Magnavox unit WITH a tuner, ZV457MG9, make me wary of getting that one. Also, my stepfather has said that he's had problems with previous Magnavox recording devices he's owned. So does anyone have any recommendations for a VCR/DVD combo unit, with or without a tuner, that can be connected to a converter box that they could recommend? Since I have a converter box, I figure I may not necessarily need a tuner but it has to be able to be connected to a converter box, not just a cable or satelite box. I'm thinking of copying movies that I've recorded on VHS to DVD to increase my supply of usable tapes. I record cartoons that I watch every day. Also, since I don't have a lot of money to spend, I'm considering factory refurbished or used items. On ebay my spending limit is up to $100. Each time I think I think I can afford to order what I need, something else comes up that needs to be paid off and I keep having to put it off. And I don't suppose I can put a Geek Squad service plan on something I buy somewhere else. If I can, let me know how that can be done.

Thanks. Changing the channel isn't really an issue for me since I usually only record one channel a day and that's cartoons in the morning. If I need to record anything else in the evening, I've usually at home to reset the VCR and set the channel on the converter box. I figured out how to record from a converter box on a VCR and wrote a post about it on Best Buy's digital tv transition board before they took that board down. And I have done some research on tunerless VCR/DVD combos from looking up the manuals online and contacting the manufacturers directly and found that not all tunerless units can be set up to converter boxes. Some can only be connected to satelite or cable boxes, or at least the manuals only include instructions for connections to cable and satelite boxes and nothing else or the manufacturers claim that connections are only possible to such devices. As for Panasonic, my stepfather bought a Panasonic unit and had terrible luck with it and so I am staying away from that.

No picture on TV/DVD combo when connected to laptop via HDMI

I have. 2008 19LV50KW TV/DVD combo that I'm trying to use as a second monitor for my new laptop. I have it connected via HDMI port, and the laptop recognizes the Toshiba, I have windows 7 and have dual monitors enabled, yet there is only Black on the Toshiba TV (I have it on the HDMI input selection). What could be the issue ?

I've seen a number of similar posts around the internet. I have this same Toshiba TV, and my new fire TV stick from amazon will not display via the HDMI (the only option). So then I tried my laptop, and discovered that it too would NOT display.
Based on that troubleshooting, I've concluded that it much be an issue with the TV. Can this be remedied in any way? Both my fire TV stick and my laptop work on all of my other TVs. There seems to clearly be an issue with the HDMI input with this Toshiba model, and maybe more.
Please advise.
