Check and replace damaged component/s at its horizontal scan output section circuit. Check the LOT (Line Output Transformer) too for damage. Replace the horizontal scan output transistor. Check the input voltage to LOT. If the voltage is absent check the feeder resistor; if any. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here.

The flickering red light is an indication that power is low for start up. I have not repaired this particular TV. But the obvious is answer is here. Your TV is not receiving the necessary voltage for start up. You need to replace bad capacitors near the flyback transformer and the horizontal output transistor. Should be two there. Next check the capacitors near the vertical IC, you may have to replace three here. You will need an ESR meter to find these bad capacitors.Resolder any and all ICs mounted to heat sinks. Check all grounds of large resistors on the main board and check the solder grounds on the small board mounted to the back of the picture tube. Thanks for asking.....should give you a good start for repair. Show a few hands of support!
(Please read all) This is a solution that will cost you $10/S&H but you can get the original remote. THEN, if it has this option, use your Universal Remote's "Learn" capability one button at a time. Or, try the "Auto code-scan" feature to try every code. I use the "Universal" brand, yes that is the brand name, model "WR7"...best remote I ever used.
If you are in Nothern Ireland you will need a UHF antenna, and Republic Ireland you will need VHF and UHF antenna to recieve off the air signals.
Connect the antenna to the back of the TV. Turn the TV on, select "menu" button on your remote and slect TV from TV/Cable menu press enter, go to main menu and select channel set up menu and select auto channel button and when finished press menu button, check your user manual for details.
Since the set turns off, I would assume it's not a hook up problem. The problem is either a bad picture tube or a bad video output amplifier. Either one is a little pricey.
I just Googled this set and the cost of repair would excede the replacement cost.
Hope this helps.
How old is this TV?
It either has an unrepairable problem in the tube itself, or the
circuit driving the green gun has a problem. If the TV is at
least ten years old, I wouldn't spend any money on getting this fixed.
change the audio ic it has a short within.this will restore your set to normal dont forget to make checks in that same circuit as there might be resistors,diodes or caps that had contributed to the failure of the ic.good luck.
i beleive the problem of your TV is the horizontal circuit probably cold solder. if you have soldering equipment, try to resolder the circuit. but if you don't know anything about this, i suggest you bring it to a qualified person.
This is a known issue with this TV. The following might resolve it:
Check Mute and Volume:
Ensure that the TV is not muted and that the volume is set appropriately. Sometimes accidental button presses can lead to muted sound or low volume.
Inspect External Speakers:
If you're using external speakers, verify their connections. Loose cables or faulty speakers can cause sound issues.
Test Different Inputs:
Connect a non-HDMI device (such as a DVD player) to the TV. Observe if the sound distortion occurs. If it doesn't, the problem might be related to the HDMI signal from your Virgin box.
HDMI Troubleshooting:
If the issue persists with the DVD player over HDMI, consider the following:
HDMI Cable: Check the HDMI cable for damage or loose connections.
Virgin Signal: Contact Virgin to inspect the signal/lines and replace the box if necessary.
Mainboard Replacement (if needed):
If the sound distortion persists, it could be due to a faulty sound processor chip on the TV's mainboard. In this case, consider replacing the mainboard.

There may be loose contact or track open in main board.So try to check the main board thoroughly where you may find the loose of connection or track open.
Locate the Battery Cover: Look for the battery cover on the back of the remote control. It is usually a small compartment that can be easily opened.
Remove the Battery Cover: Depending on the design, there may be a latch, screw, or sliding mechanism to secure the battery cover. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to open the compartment.
Remove Old Batteries: Take out the old batteries from the battery compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, so you know how to insert the new ones correctly.
Check Battery Polarity: Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside the battery compartment. Make sure to insert the new batteries with the correct polarity to match these markings.
Insert New Batteries: Place the new batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are properly aligned with the correct polarity. Press them down gently to make sure they are secure.
Replace Battery Cover: After inserting the new batteries, close the battery compartment cover securely. If it has a latch or screw, make sure it is fastened properly.
Test the Remote: Point the remote at the device it controls (such as a Toshiba TV) and test whether it responds to your commands. If the remote is working correctly, you have successfully replaced the batteries.
Dispose of Old Batteries: If the old batteries are no longer usable, make sure to dispose of them properly. Many communities have designated recycling locations for batteries.

They are purely a numerical identifier of when it was made, year, day, number on the shift, whether it Joe or Billy who did final inspection.
With a MODEL number I can find them easily with just 'make model manual'.

No you can't the Insignia remote is for that model television only. Companies don't make their remotes so they operate other makes of televisions. Buy a Copy Remote for the Toshiba

The information provided suggests that there might be an issue with the main board of the electronic device. However, it's important to consider a few factors before deciding to replace the main board:
Check for Error Codes or Diagnostic Signals: Some devices have error codes or diagnostic signals that can provide more specific information about the issue. Check the device's manual or documentation for any error codes or signals associated with the flashing LED or other symptoms.
Perform a Hard Reset: Before replacing any components, try performing a hard reset on the device. This involves turning off the power, unplugging the device, and waiting for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on. Sometimes, this can resolve temporary glitches.
Consult Manufacturer Support: Contact the manufacturer's customer support or refer to the product's support resources. They may be able to provide troubleshooting steps specific to your device and guide you on whether a main board replacement is necessary.
Professional Inspection: If you are not familiar with electronic repairs, consider consulting a professional technician. They can inspect the device, run diagnostics, and provide a more accurate assessment of the issue.
Check Warranty: If the device is still under warranty, replacing components yourself may void the warranty. Check the warranty terms and conditions before attempting any repairs.
Consider Other Factors: The issue might not solely be with the main board. Power supply issues, faulty connectors, or other components could contribute to the problem. A thorough inspection can help identify the root cause.
If, after considering these factors, you still believe that the main board is the likely culprit and you are comfortable with the replacement process, you can proceed with replacing it. However, exercising caution and exploring all available troubleshooting options is advisable before making any decisions.
