My insignia amplifier IS-HC040917 will not power on at all.

hello sir

The radio shack site should have the manuals for that

you could of shorted something out inside the amp causig there to be no output, the easiest way todo that would be if the power wire grounded out after the fuse while i was hooked to the amp. also its possible the ohm load was toolow for the amp to handle. and mst amps are repairable its just how much are you willing to spend. hope this helps

remove it from power is all you can really do

Your universal remote control should have a scan feature that will allow you to find a code to control your receiver. If not, additional assistance might be found here.

if the speakers are 250 watts each then yes if speakers are less you will blow them cuz of to much power if they are more then you most likely won't be able to push them

some parts are damaged ,maybe audio amplifiers IC´s or power fet´s

Receiver either just stuck or held or having problem in amplifier output area.
Try to unplug it from AC outlet for couple of minutes and replug back in and power up, if works, fine and if does not, take it to local repair shop as it might requires some parts replacement in amplifier out area.

no mine do that and its pretty much normal
