How to fix Insignia TV remote control when it's not working?

  Susan SandersAug 23, 2025
  To resolve the issue of the remote control not working on your Insignia TV, ensure the power cord is properly connected to both the TV and a functioning power outlet. Remove any obstructions between the remote and the TV's remote control sensor, and point the remote directly at the sensor. Also, verify that you've removed all plastic wrapping from the batteries, that the batteries are correctly installed, and replace them if necessary.

  If your Insignia TV has no power, make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to your TV and a power outlet. Unplug the power cord, wait 60 seconds, then plug the cord back in and turn on your TV. Other devices may be interfering with your TV. Try turning off one device at a time to determine which device is causing interference. After you have determined which device is causing interference, move it further from the TV to eliminate the interference.

Why is my Insignia TV screen dark but the sound is fine?
- B
  Brett DonovanAug 29, 2025
  If your Insignia TV displays a dark, poor, or no picture (but the screen is lit) while the sound is good, try switching to another channel, as the station might be experiencing issues. Ensure that the antenna or cable TV is connected correctly and securely. Adjust the brightness and make sure the correct picture mode is selected. If you're using an antenna, check the digital channel signal strength and adjust the antenna, or use a highly directional outdoor or set-top antenna with an amplifier if the signal is weak. Also, make sure the video cables are securely connected and try a new set of video cables, as the ones you're using may be bad.

  If your Insignia TV has no picture and no sound, start by pressing the power button on the TV or remote control. Ensure the Audio Only option is set to Off. Check that the video cables are securely connected to your TV. Adjust the contrast and brightness settings. Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and the correct video input source is selected. Try another channel as the station may be experiencing problems. Confirm the incoming signal is compatible. Also, ensure the antenna or cable TV is correctly and securely connected, and check the closed caption settings, as some TEXT modes can block the screen.

  If your Insignia TV has good picture but no sound, try these steps: First, increase the volume and make sure the sound isn't muted. Check that headphones are not connected, as this disables the TV speakers. Ensure the correct audio mode is selected. Verify that the audio cables are correctly and securely connected to your TV. Also, ensure your antenna or cable TV is properly connected. If using an antenna, check the digital channel signal strength. Finally, the audio cables you are using may be faulty, so try a new set.
