How GossTech diagnoses — our step-by-step fault-finding approach
- Remote triage (phone + photos/video): You send a short video or photos of the symptom to info@gosstech.co.ke or WhatsApp +254 723 613 664. Many faults (bad input, loose cable, incorrect source) can be fixed remotely or scheduled quickly.
- On-site inspection: For installation issues, tuner/antenna problems, or simple power faults we visit your Wang’uru address, test, and often repair on the spot.
- Workshop diagnostics: For component-level faults (PSU, mainboard, panel, T-con), we bring the TV to our workshop for bench testing, use of scopes, and controlled power supply testing.
- Parts & replacement: If a part is needed, we source original or high-quality compatible spare parts. We always advise whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
- Final test & warranty: After repair we run a burn-in test (hours of operation) and provide a parts/labor warranty depending on the component and service level.

- On-site callout fee: Flat callout fee for Wang’uru visits (waived if you proceed with the repair).
