INSIGNIA NS-LCD37HD-09 _ XOCECO - LC37HV41 – TROUBLESHOOTING CHART - Main Power Supply [SMPS] Schematic (Circuit Diagram)


Before servicing, check to find the possible cause of the fault according to the table below.

Picture is out of focus or jumping
* Bad status in signal receiving
*  Poor signal
*  Check if there are failures with the electrical connector or the antenna.
*  Check if the antenna is properly connected.

Fringe in picture
* Check if the antenna is correctly oriented.
*  Maybe there is electric wave reflected from hilltop or building.

Picture is interfered by stripe shaped bright spots 
* Possibly due to interference from auto-mobile, train, high voltage transmission line, neon lamp etc.
*  Maybe there is interference between antenna and power supply line. Please try to separate them in a longer distance.
*  Maybe the shielded-layer of signal wire is not connected properly to the connector.

There appear streaks or light colour on the screen
Check if interfered by other equipment and if interfered possibly by the equipment like transmitting antenna, non-professional radio station and cellular phone.

Unable to switch the power on
Check to see if the power plug has been inserted properly into the socket.

No picture and sound
* Check to see if the power supply of liquid crystal TV has been switched on. (As can be indicated by the red LED at the front of the TV set)
*  See if it’s receiving the signal that is transmitted from other source than the station
*  Check if it’s connected to the wrong terminal or if the input mode is correct.
*  Check if the signal cable connection between video frequency source and the liquid crystal TV set is correct.

Deterioration of colour phase or colour tone
Check if all the picture set-ups have been corrected.

Screen position or size is not proper
Check is the screen position and size is correctly set up.

Picture is twisted and deformed
Check to see if the picture-frame ratio is properly set up.

Picture colour changed or colourless
Check the “Component” or “RGB” settings of the liquid crystal TV set and make proper adjustment according to the signal types.

Picture too bright and there is distortion in the brightest area. 
* Check if the contrast setting is too high.
*  Possibly the output quality of DVD broadcaster is set too high.
*  It maybe also due to improper terminal connection of the video frequency signal in a certain position of the system.

Picture is whitish or too bright in the darkest area of the picture
* Check if the setting for the brightness is too high
*  Possibly the brightness grade ofDVD player (broadcaster) is set too high.

No picture or signal produced from the display if “XXX in search” appears.
 * Check if the cable is disconnected.
*  Check if it’s connected to the proper terminal or if the input mode is correct.
There appears an indication -                (outside the receivable scope)
* Check if the TV set can receive input signal. The signal is not correctly identified and VGA format is beyond the specified scope.

Remote control cannot work properly
* Check if the batteries are installed in the reverse order.
*  Check if the battery is effective.
*  Check the distance or angle from the monitor.
*  Check if there is any obstruct between the remote control and the TV set.
*  Check if the remote control signal- receiving window is exposed to strong fluorescence.

No picture and sound, but only hash.
Check if the antenna cable is correctly connected, or if it has received the video signal correctly. 

Blur picture
* Check if the antenna cable is correctly connected.
* Of if it has received the right video signal.

No sound
* Check if the “mute” audio frequency setting is selected.
*  Check if the sound volume is set to minimum.
*  Make sure the earphone is not connected.
*  Check if the cable connection is loose.

When playing VHS picture search tape, there are lines at the top or bottom of the picture.
When being played or in pause VHS picture search tape sometimes can’t provide stable picture, which may lead to incorrect display of the liquid crystal TV, In this case press “auto” key on the remote control so as to enable the
liquid crystal TV set to recheck the signal and then to display correct picture signal
NO RASTER
