How GossTech diagnoses & repairs Royal TVs — our process
GossTech follows a clear, customer-friendly workflow from first contact to final test and warranty:
- Initial contact & triage (phone/email/online form)
You describe the fault (symptoms, when it started). We advise simple checks you can safely do (power, cables, remote batteries). - On-site assessment or workshop drop-off
- Small faults & quick fixes: we perform same-day on-site repairs in Nairobi (where possible).
- Complex faults: we collect the TV or you drop it at our Nairobi workshop for bench diagnosis.
- Comprehensive diagnostics (detailed testing)
- Visual inspection (PCB, indicators, capacitor bulging, scorch marks).
- Electrical tests (voltage rails, continuity, ESR on capacitors).
- Functional tests (backlight test, T-con test, port tests, firmware checks).
- Clear quotation & repair approval
We give a clear quote for parts & labour. No hidden charges. You approve before we proceed. - Repair & parts replacement
- We fit quality replacement parts (genuine where available or equivalent premium parts).
- Typical repairs: power board replacement, T-con board, backlight strips/LEDs, speaker replacement, HDMI port replacement, firmware reflash.
- Quality test & burn-in
After repair we perform extended tests (video/audio playback, stress run) to ensure reliability. - Warranty & aftercare
GossTech provides a warranty on parts and labour (terms vary by repair). We also advise maintenance tips to extend TV life.
Typical repair turnaround & pricing (guideline)
- Simple fixes (remote, settings, minor solder joints): often same day.
- Power board / T-con / backlight repairs: usually 1–3 working days depending on part availability.
- Major panel replacements: 3–7 days and sometimes more due to sourcing the correct panel.
(Exact times and costs depend on model and fault — GossTech issues a written quote.)

Preventive maintenance & tips for Royal TV owners
- Keep the TV in a well-ventilated location—avoid blocking vents.
- Use a surge protector—power surges are a leading cause of power-board failures.
- Clean dust from vents and speakers carefully with a dry brush or low-pressure air.
- Avoid exposing the TV to humidity and direct sunlight.
- For Smart TVs, update firmware from official sources only. If in doubt, ask GossTech.
