-   I have 2 Insignia 32" LCD T.V's and both have the same problem. The repair shop diagnosed the issue as the power supply. The repair shop said it would cost $300 for each repair. I sourced the power supply board (#667-L32K5-20C) at Best Buy for $89.99 each. I'm going to buy one and try to repair this my self, whats the worse that can happen? The T.V's are garbage anyways....
I hope this helps.

I bought a 32' LCD TV made from insignia and it will not turn on. It was a 'open box item' now it is 15 months old- 3 months past warranty and it is completely finished. It's something to remember about Best Buy products. They are often pieces of junk. Isignia and Best Buy both have unavailable customer support, the local store transferred me from sales to Geek Squad- after Geek Squad said they don't do TV's I was transferred to a line I let ring for 2 minutes and the phone was never answered. I have been going to Best Buy instead of Circuit City but this has concerned me enough to not spend money at Best Buy anymore.

I have an Insignia HD30 tv and it will not turn on. I called Insignia main office and then Best Buy Service and spoke with 4 employees and a supervisor. All said the same thing; their tv's are made with a lamp that controls it coming on and it only last 2 or at best 3 yrs. It then has to be replaced. The service contract will only replace it one time. They do not tell you when you buy it and it is not in the manual. I am filing a complaint with the Attorney's General Office in my state, Comsumer Reports as this product contains a latent defect.

same thing happening to me and mine is ONE day out of warranty and the customer service is like "too bad, it's not our problem anymore.." one even had the balls to say "I bet you wish it would have broken yesterday." I did a sarcastic laugh and said back "what I wish is that you guys would have made a TV that wasn't a piece of dog squeeze." I'm still arguing with customer-NO-service though, I'll let you know how i handled it.

Heat the bridge rectifier with a blow dryer and see it turn right on.

it seems that this tv has a problem with a very short life span of the back light lamp of the LCD display, not sure why the sound doesn't work but it is related to the bulb being burnt out. The light is around $600.00 installed.

I have a 32" Insignia LCD TV that has the same problem - will not come on, just flashes between red and blue power-on lights.  It went out a year and one day after purchase.  I found that it will come on for a few seconds if I hold down a button on the remote when the blue light comes on, but then it goes off again anyway.   Does anyone know where to find the lamp that one responder mentioned, and where to buy one to replace?

I have Insignia 42" plasma, and a few days ago i begin to have the same problem...a times it doesn't not turn on .. when i pushed the power button .. the red light blinks on and off every 2 seconds .. then i unplugged it and plug it back in and try again ... it looks like its going to turn on (lights blinks amber blue for a second) but then its goes back to flashing red again every 2 seconds... If i keep trying sometimes for hours ... it finally decides to work .... I'm also past the warranty period ... bought it from costco .... few years back ...
