The Clever Fix<\/strong> Usually, the main culprit is system bugs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a fun fact: When you turn off your Insignia TV without unplugging it, it doesn’t fully shut down. Instead, it goes into standby mode so you can power it on quickly next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time, not fully powering down can lead to the buildup of residual electrical charges and system bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This accumulation can cause various glitches, like the TV not turning on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, other reasons might be causing your Insignia TV not to turn on. These can range from a faulty power outlet or cord, a non-working remote, incorrect input source, a broken backlight, or even a burned-out power supply board.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Insignia TV isn’t turning on, the first step is to perform the Clever Fix (power cycle).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unplug your TV from the outlet and wait at least a minute. Meanwhile, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the minute’s up, plug your TV back in and power it up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This process is also known as a soft reset, which should be your go-to solution when your TV isn\u2019t cooperating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned earlier, Insignia TVs stay in standby mode when turned off, which can result in a buildup of residual charges and system bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A power cycle drains these charges and fully resets your TV, eliminating any system glitches in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This method fixes the issue about 80% of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if you\u2019re in the other 20% and the power cycle didn\u2019t do the trick, don\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are more troubleshooting steps to try, which I’ll outline below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Here’s a quick tip: Insignia TV’s have power indicator lights. When your TV is off but still plugged in, this light is on, indicating the TV is in standby mode. But when you turn on the TV, the power indicator light should go off.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever tried turning on your TV using its physical power button?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know it may sound trivial, but trust me on this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Numerous people have panicked thinking their TV was broken when the actual issue was just with their remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how many times you hit the power button on your remote, if it’s not working, your TV won’t wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There could be several reasons why your remote isn’t working. Common issues include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To fix your Insignia TV remote, you can start by power cycling it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, take out the batteries from the remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without the batteries in, press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to drain any leftover charge. Then, press each button on the remote at least once to ensure none are stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, put the batteries back in and check if your remote is now working correctly. It might be a good idea to use new batteries rather than replacing the old ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what if your remote still doesn’t work after power cycling? In that case, you might want to check the infrared signal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do this using a smartphone camera or any other digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aim your remote at the camera lens and press some of its buttons. Now, look on your camera’s screen. Is there a light or flash coming from the remote when you press the buttons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there isn’t any light or flash, despite using new batteries, then it might be that your remote is broken. You’ll likely need to buy a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The absence of the power indicator light might suggest your Insignia TV isn’t getting enough power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you should check the power cord, which connects your TV to the power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unplug your TV from the power outlet. Then, disconnect the power cord from the back of your TV. Leave it unplugged for at least a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it’s unplugged, scrutinize the power cord for any signs of damage, like exposed or cut wires, or any prongs that might look out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your power cord seems to be in good shape, plug it back into your TV. Ensure the connection is secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you’ve done this, see if your Insignia TV will turn on this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your power cord is properly seated but the power light is still off, your next move should be to test a different power outlet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An indicator light that stays off, even after double-checking the power cord, suggests your Insignia TV isn’t getting the power it needs. If the cord isn’t the problem, then it could be the outlet you’re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It might be hard to tell, but there could be some internal issues with your power outlet. The wires inside may be damaged, or the metal contacts may have lost their grip on the prongs of the plug, resulting in a shaky connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To verify this, try plugging your Insignia TV into a different outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Note: If moving your TV to another outlet isn’t feasible, you could plug a different device into the suspicious outlet to see if it works.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Insignia TV powers up in a different outlet, then it’s safe to say the original one is faulty. In this case, it would be best to call a professional electrician to inspect and repair your power outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had any thunderstorms rolled through your area recently before your TV stopped working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carry out a power cycle by disconnecting the TV from the power source and leaving it unplugged for at least a minute. While waiting, long press the power button for about 30 seconds. Once a minute is up, plug the TV back in and attempt to turn it on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy won\u2019t my Insignia TV turn on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
