Are you frustrated with your Insignia TV, which keeps restarting on its own? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many people have this issue and it can be quite confusing trying to figure out why it’s happening. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the possible causes of this issue and how to fix it.
1. Unplug the TV from the Power Source
If you’re experiencing random restarts on your Insignia TV, the first step is to unplug it from the power source. This is an easy fix that may resolve the issue, as it will reset the power supply. After unplugging your TV, wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. If this does not work, you can try a power reset or check for faulty or loose connections.
2. Press and Hold the Power Button
If your Insignia TV won’t turn on, you can try a power reset. To do so, unplug the set from the outlet and press and hold the power button for one minute. This can help reset any software issues that may be causing your TV to restart. If you’re unsure of what might be causing the issue, it’s also worth unplugging all plugs and waiting a few hours before trying again. If this doesn’t resolve the problem, check for any faulty or loose connections, or try updating the software.
3. Check Software Issues
If you’ve ruled out any hardware issues, it’s worth checking the software on your Insignia TV. Make sure that the software is up to date and that none of the settings are conflicting with each other, as this could be causing the restarting issue. To check for a software issue, try resetting your TV to its factory settings. On your remote, click on the factory reset option and the Insignia Roku TV will be factory reset. If this doesn’t work, you can also try restarting the TV and unplugging it from the power source for a few hours.
4. Reset the Remote
If the issue persists after unplugging your TV, you may need to reset the remote. To do this, remove the batteries from the remote and press the three different buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. Then put the batteries back in and restart your TV. If this doesn’t solve the problem, it could be something more severe than a simple reset, such as a software issue or faulty connections. Check out the next step in our guide to see what else you can try to get your Insignia TV back up and running.
5. Update Software
If you have tried all the previous steps but your Insignia TV is still restarting, then you may need to update your software. You can do this by going to Philips.com, entering your model number and downloading the latest version of the software. This process usually takes between 5-15 minutes and can be done without having to take your TV apart or call a technician. Once the update is complete, reboot your TV and see if it fixes the issue.
6. Unplug All Plugs and Wait a Few Hours
If your Insignia TV keeps restarting, unplug all the plugs from the TV and wait a few hours. This can help reset the TV’s power supply and clear up any software errors that might be causing it to reboot. While the TV is unplugged, you can also check for any faulty or loose connections that could be causing the problem. If everything looks in order, plug all the cables back in and turn the TV on again.
7. Check for Faulty or Loose Connections
If the above steps didn’t solve the issue, then you may have a faulty connection or loose connection issue. Check all the cables and ports of your Insignia TV such as HDMI, power cable, and audio/video inputs to see if they are firmly connected or not. If any of them are loose, try to reconnect them properly. You can also use a multi-meter to check if there is a short circuit or not. If short-circuiting is found, then you should replace the cable with a new one.
8. Perform a Power Reset
If none of the above steps have worked to stop your Insignia TV from restarting, it’s time to try a power reset. This involves unplugging the TV from the power source and pressing and holding the power button for 30 seconds. This will force the TV to reset, and can help if there is a software issue that is causing the problem. If you still experience restarting after performing a power reset, it might indicate a hardware issue, such as faulty or loose connections, which may require professional help to repair.
9. Re-solder the Vertical IC
If you’ve followed the steps above and your Insignia TV is still restarting on its own, then it could be due to a faulty or loose connection. In this case, you may need to re-solder the vertical output IC in order to restore normal functioning. It’s important to note that this is a relatively complicated process and should be done by an experienced technician. If you don’t feel comfortable attempting this yourself, it’s best to contact a professional for assistance.
10. Troubleshoot Network Connectivity Issues
If you’ve ruled out all the other potential causes of your Insignia TV’s restarting, you may need to look into network connectivity issues. To troubleshoot this, try resetting your router and checking for any restrictions on your home wifi settings that may be preventing access to the Insignia TV. You can also double-check that all connections are properly secured and that a recent change in the home hasn’t caused any disruption to the connection. If you’re still having trouble, you can contact Insignia customer support for further assistance.
