Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always unplug the unit before opening any panels. Do not attempt repairs if you are not comfortable working with electrical components.
Steps to restore power:
- 1. Check the outlet: Plug another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
- 2. Inspect the power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. If damaged, the cord should be replaced by a qualified technician.
- 3. Access the control board: Remove the rear panel and locate the main control board. Look for an onboard fuse (glass or blade type).
- 4. Test/replace fuse (advanced): With the unit unplugged, check the fuse for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown. If the new fuse blows immediately, there is a deeper electrical fault.
- 5. Replace main control board: If the fuse is good but the board shows signs of damage or still does not power up, replace the Insignia main control board.
Warning: Repeated fuse failures indicate a short circuit that must be professionally diagnosed.
