I purchased the Insignia TV 32 in. during the fall of 2005 (manufactured in June 2005). It has been working fairly well until March 2007 when I started having problem turning it on. At first, 'the unplug then wait and plug again trick' worked. Thereafter, TV remains as described by other customers: A blue light will quickly follow the red light then will disappear. Best Buy says: sorry we can't help, you did not purchase the warranty. The manufacturer warranty only lasts a year (past due). What should I do?
If you get a service man to come out and look at the tv there are three capacitors at the top of the power supply that look like they are about to pop replace and the tv will wotk fine. they cost about two dollars each

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
You will have to look at the manufacturer's plate, probably on the back of the machine to find the appropriate date then-
Date code 39, March 2005
Press start/cancel until ALL LEDS are lit
Press both start/cancel AND on/off together until 'dOFF' is displayed
Date code 39, March 2005 to date code 42, June 2005
Press the cancel button and the machine should return to normal
Date code 43, July 2005 onwards
Press both start/cancel AND on/off TOGETHER with top left option button until 'dOFF' is displayed.
Good luck,

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
It depends upon the date of manufacture for Hotpoint (Indesit) washers. The date should be on the panel probably at the back in the most handy position, sorry!
Date code 39 March 2005
Press start/cancel until ALL LEDS are lit
Press both start/cancel AND on/off together until 'dOFF' is displayed
Date code 39 March 2005 to date code 42 June 2005
Press the cancel button and the machine should return to normal
Date code 43 July 2005 onwards
Press both start/cancel AND on/off TOGETHER with top left option button until 'dOFF' is displayed.
Hopefully one of these should clear it ;-0)
Good luck,

There have been 3 versions of Demo Mode used on these appliances.
Version 1(Production to- Date code 39 March 2005)
To Activate 1. From the Default screen of a programme, after switching the appliance on press both Start/Cancel and On/Off buttons together until d On appears in display. 2. Press the Start/Cancel button only and test appears in the screen (Temp & Spin symbols also appear)
To Deactivate
Press the Start/Cancel button until all the console LED's illuminate. Press both Start/Cancel and On/Off buttons together until d OFF appears. The default screen returns and you can select a new programme. Note:- The default screen information displayed on these models is that of the programme currently selected by the selector knob.
Version 2 ( during Date Code 39 March 2005- to Date Code 42 June 2005)
To Activate
1. Same method as version 1.
To Deactivate
1. Simply press the Cancel button and the appliance returns to default.
Version 3 (During Date Code 43 June 2005 - to date )
To Activate
1. Press On/Off and Start/Cancel together with the top left option button until d On appears.
To Deactivate
1. Press On/Off and Start/Cancel toghether with top left option button until d OF appears.
1. You will need to check the units instruction manual. This sounds like the LCD TV is in the "timer" mode that is the tv is set for 120, 90, 30 minutes and then turns itself off. 2. It also maybe a circuit built into the TV to protect the electronic components and will shut down the unit when it senses a heat or voltage change ( this can be a manufacturing defect) call the manufacturer and see if this is a recall. Some time the manufacturer will replace the unit even if it is a gift from the company you work for. The unit has already been purchased and has full warranty status. Hope this helps.
