INSIGNIA NS-LCD26A

I have a Insignia NS-LCD26A.  It is a little over a year old.  Last night while watching it stopped working.  The green power light comes on the screen flashes for just a second like it is going to turn on then it shuts off.  It then starts the process all over again.  The green light comes on, the screen flashes for just a second then shuts off.  The only way to stop it is to unplug it.
Any idea what is wrong with it?
Thanks

Im not sure what the fix is, but I have the same TV, for about the same amount of time, and WALA...same exact problem. Turns on, green light lit, then the screen flashes for a second and the TV shuts off and then cycles again and again in the same manner until you unplug it. Using the manual button does no good and the remote is useless.
Wonderful TV Insignia...
Never again...

  • Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

    There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.

    Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
    http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
    For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
    Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
    Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
    Example link for mini stereo audio cable:

    I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble.  I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts.  He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends.  The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection.  The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac.  I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

  • DVI to VGA to Insignia TV problem

    I have a macbook pro:
    Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro3,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          2

      Boot ROM Version:          MBP31.0070.B07
      SMC Version (system):          1.16f11
    Mavericks
    I am trying to connect it to my Insignia TV with VGA, the MBP's video output is DVI. I have an adapter connecting the DVI port to the VGA cable that is connected to the TV. They are both fully tightend but  nothing is showing up on the TV.
             WHY!?!?!?!?!?!

    Many possible reasons and not enough information to choose among them.
    Some possible reasons and things to check, working back from the TV:
    The TV might not be set to "watch" the VGA input port. Did you verify that it is?
    The VGA port on the TV might be defective or damaged. Have you used it before?
    The VGA port on the TV might not be sending the proper identifying information to the MBP. How old is the TV?
    The VGA cable might be defective or damaged. Have you used it before? Have you tried another?
    The DVI-VGA adapter might be defective or damaged. Have you used it before? Have you tried another?
    The DVI output port on the MBP might be defective or damaged. Have you used it before?
    Does the MBP notice that there is a second screen connected? Check to see if there is an "Arrangement" tab in the "Displays" panel of System Preferences?
    Depending on what you mean by "nothing is showing," the MBP might not be set to send anything to the screen. Are you getting static, a black screen, the Mavericks wallpaper?

  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an Insignia TV to use it as a monitor?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an Insignia Television set to use it as a monitor?

    Depends on your model.... You can use wifi, via the Apple TV. The Apple TV connects to the TV via HDMI. If the Macbook Pro has HDMI, use that.

  • Updated to Mavericks (2013 MBA) - Insignia television no longer recognized as a display

    Like it says - My Insignia television is no longer recognized as a second display. Absolutely nothing is showing up under the display tab in my system preferences. Currently running:
    - 2013 MBA
    - Insignia Television
    - 3rd party Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter

    Try this:
    System Preferences > Displays > Hold the options key and click on Detect Displays see if that fixes it.  Otherwise perform a PRAM reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) without the adaptor connected and then try to connect it after.

  • Insignia TV Display, No Longer Usable in 10.8.2

    Yes, NOW THE ISSUE!! Since updated to 10.8.2, I no longer the Insignia display no longer works. I get a black screen on BOTH the MBP Retina and the Insignia display. I can see the pointer of my mouse on the black screen and that is all :-(
    On the Samsung in my other office. All is perfect since updating to 10.8.2.

  • Question about the Insignia 8: Windows 8.1 Tablet

    Here is my situation. I currently have a 10.1" Gateway Netbook that seems like it's running on it's last leg. I bought it used originally and it's a 2009 model.
    Today I was browsing BestBuy.com and I came across a 8" Insignia Tablet running Windows 8.1 and having an Intel Atom Processor. I read the specs and it says it has access to plug in a USB 2.0 device.
    What I was wondering, is the USB 2.0 access through a dongle that connects to the Tablet itself? And another question I had was the way it charges. I was wondering if the charging mechanism plugs into the wall through the USB port that's on the tablet or if it's another jack that charges it. I was going to use it as a "Light desktop" replacement for my Bedroom to watch Youtube videos and play very very light games on it, etc. It looks like it's also energy efficient and it's similar in specs with the 32GB eMMC Solid State Drive that's on my HP Stream Laptop. 
    I'd want to use a stand for it, and also connect a USB 2.0 Hub just to be able to connect a wired keyboard and mouse. 
    Thanks to anyone for any insight you may have on this.

    Hockeycanuckjc,
    I actually have this tablet personally so I'd be happy to help you with how I got it to work.
    Because the Insignia 8.1 tablet doesn't have a full USB port, you would need a dongle that converts micro-USB to USB in order for this to work. I actually picked up this guy one night after work and it solved my problem instantly:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-micro-usb-to-usb-adapter/1688641.p?id=1219059709888&skuId...
    Although it says it only works with Galaxy devices, I have gotten it to work on many different tablets and phones of varying brands and OSes, including the Insignia tablet. Although I personally haven't plugged in a USB hub to the extender, I don't think it will have any problems.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can't get sound from Insignia BT headphones w/ BT-equipped dv3t

    Both are brand-new, I charged the headphones and downloaded the updated drivers from www.broadcom.com (actually Vista seemed to do it automatically) and the device is paired but I can't get any sound out of it (it's turned on:-)).
    Under the Playback tab in the Sound control panel there are three items:
    Speakers: Bluetooth Hands-free Audio
    Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Independent Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    All say they are working, but when I test the sound of each one I only get sound from the notebook speakers using the second option. The only weird thing I can think of is that I had the USB adapter plugged in when I downloaded the drivers, so maybe it downloaded drivers designed to work through USB? (I can't get sound with the adapter plugged in, though, either).
    Any suggestions welcome, I really want to get this to work and not have to send the headphones back to seller (which is what Insignia tech support told me to do).
    P.S. I know I have BT turned on because I'm also connected to a wireless home network, they go together.

    Hello again,
    oops, I must have missed your last message... sorry for that!
    I have to say, that I don t have my digital sound system that long, that I can answer this question for sure. However...
    You re right, that it should be possible, although I wasn t able to find a way to do that... yet... Somewhere (don t know if it was this forum or another place) I ve read, that the SPDIF support for Windows Vista isn t that nice at this time... perhaps a new driver will solve this
    Furthermore... I don t use the Media Center that much. So I don t even know if there is any option to set the output device (within the application Media Center). That would be important to realize "the best of both worlds". Explanation: If you want headphones support, you (always) have to leave the Speakers device as default. Other applications (such as Winamp,...) allow us to set the output device (in Winamp for example you can set it under the preferences Output -> Directsound device) to the SPDIF device, although we have selected "Speakers" as default in the control panel... nice, isn t it's For sure... if it would work...
    That way you don t get a(n) AC3/DTS signal via SPDIF... so, if you use Windows Vista (I can't answer your question related to other operating systems, because of my newly purchased system -> I haven t used it on XP) the only way that I know ( til now) is to select the SPDIF device as default...

  • Insignia 22" LCD TV Flashes

    I have noticed twice now that when my Insignia LCD TV is turned off it has done a sudden "flash" as if the monitor is going to go on.  This happens on its own.   I recently had Direct TV set-up and did not know if this is related to the situation.
    What is causing this "flash".  This is not normal as I have an 32" LCD with Direct TV as well and it has not happend.
    Thank you.

    You lucked out it sounds like. Same thing happened to my Insignia and it was "repaired" under warranty, only to fail again less than a year later. Stick with the name brands and you will be good.
    There are plenty of Samsungs and LGs in the service center.

  • Playing movies on my insignia TV

    I some movies on my ipad that I'm trying to play on my 42in insignia tv. If I plug just the AV adapter in--the kind with the red, yellow and white plugs--into the av plugs into the tv, it will play for a couple minutes then tell me it doesn't support the device. I bought the special HDMI adapter for the the ipad--made by apple--and plugged it in and it doesn't recognize it at all. As in it just plays on the ipad like nothing is even plugged in.
    I tried the same thing with my ipod and it does the same thing. I even changed the settings on the ipod to tv out and when I plug in the HDMI adapter with the the cable in to the tv it keeps asking for the video accessory to be connected.
    What's the point of getting movies through itunes instead of on DVD if I can't play them on my tv?
    HELP

    When selecting iPod, at the bottom are 5 selections.
    I don't recall what the default 4 selections are but I have the following:
    Songs
    Playlists
    Artists
    Videos
    More
    When I select More, the following additional selections are available:
    Albums
    Audiobooks
    Compilations
    Composers
    Genres
    Podcasts
    You can select Edit at the More screen and place your choice of 4 selections at the bottom of the iPod screen.
    Select Videos to navigate to the videos that you have transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

    I just want to know if this device will connect to my home wireless network.. my network router / hub is no where near the TV and running a ethernet cable is not feasible.

  • Insignia blu-ray player NS-BRDVD3 sound issues

    I'm having issues with sound levels when using the Insignia player.  Sometimes the sound fades and I can turn the volume all the way up on my tv and still not be able to hear it real well.  This is sporadic but only happens when I am using the blu-ray player,  both watching a dvd or watching netflix.
    Has anyone else had this problem?   I have it hooked to a Vizio LCD with HDMI cable.

    I have experienced the same problem with Netflix streaming. It looks like the current "fix" for this problem is to connect with component cables and not a HDMI cable. A firmware solution is aparently in the offing from information I've gleaned from the Inginia forums. Not entirely satisfying, but it has worked so far for me.

  • Connecting computer and home theatre to insignia TV

    I just bought a denon home theatre surround sound.  I have my insignia TV connected to my XBOX, blu ray, and computer.  Is there some way I could connect all these things to my TV and have them play through my surround sound?  Basically can I use my free HDMI port to play all these things through my surround sound?

    You have two options here...
    You can do an all HDMI connection using your Denon receiver as a hub, or you can go all sources via HDMI straight to the TV using and optical out connection back into your Denon receiver set.
    The computer may make the Denon connection problematic.
