Every TV problem — listed, diagnosed & repaired (detailed table)
Below is an exhaustive problems-by-symptom table. For each problem we describe how GossTech diagnoses the fault and the typical repairs we perform.
| Problem (symptom) | How GossTech diagnoses it | Typical repair / service actions |
|---|---|---|
| No power / TV won’t turn on | Visual inspection (power LED, external damage), measure mains at plug, check internal power supply voltages, test power button and IR receiver. | Replace faulty power supply board components (capacitors, MOSFETs), replace power board, fix power socket/wiring, repair/replace remote sensor or main board as needed. |
| Power cycles (turns on then off) | Reproduce fault, monitor heats, check standby voltages, test power supply stability and backlight startup sequence. | Replace failing capacitors/transformers on PSU, repair mainboard firmware or replace T-con if related to startup handshake, replace backlight driver. |
| No backlight (screen black but sound OK) | Confirm audio present, use torch to check for faint image, measure LED string/backlight inverter voltages. | Replace LED strips or fluorescent tubes (older sets), replace LED driver/inverter board, fix connectors and fuse resistors. |
| Dim or flickering screen | Run display uniformity test, measure LED/lamp voltages, check dimming circuits and firmware. | Replace aged LEDs, fix dimming ICs, reflow cold solder joints, update firmware if required. |
| Vertical / horizontal lines on screen | Inspect flat cables, T-CON board, ribbon connectors, run panel diagnostics. | Reseat or replace LVDS ribbon cables, repair/replace T-CON board, panel-level repair for damaged traces (limited). |
| Colour problems / wrong tint / washed-out image | Check colour balance in service menu, inspect mainboard output to T-CON, test display panel. | Replace or reprogram mainboard, replace T-CON, calibrate colours, replace panel if the LCD matrix is damaged. |
| Image retention / burn-in (OLED/Plasma) | Reproduce and measure persistence patterns; check for static image exposure history. | Run pixel-refresh routines, software mitigations; for severe burn-in panel replacement recommended. |
| Vertical/horizontal blank bands (no image in strip) | Test T-CON, LVDS cable, panel segments; inspect solder joints. | Replace T-CON board or LVDS cable, panel repair where feasible. |
| Sound but no picture (or vice versa) | Isolate between mainboard, T-CON, and speakers; test audio amp modules and HDMI/AV inputs. | Replace mainboard or audio amplifier, repair speaker wires, update firmware, replace T-CON/panel as needed. |
| Distorted or stuttering video (lag, tearing) | Check input sources (set-top box, HDMI), test all inputs, run factory and firmware diagnostics. | Replace/repair HDMI ports, replace mainboard, update firmware, advise on source/resolution mismatch. |
| Dead pixels or groups of pixels | Inspect panel, run pixel test patterns to confirm. | For a small number of pixels use panel-specific repair steps; replace panel for unacceptable pixel defects. |
| Remote control not working / IR issues | Test remote (battery, IR LED), test IR receiver with phone camera, use universal remote. | Replace IR receiver board, repair remote, reprogram remote or replace remote control. |
| No signal / channels missing | Check antenna/cable input, tuner diagnostics, run scan, check signal strength. | Repair/replace RF tuner, re-tune channels, repair antenna port, recommend/up-sell set-top box if needed. |
| HDMI / USB / AV port faults | Inspect port pins, continuity and board traces, test with known-good cables. | Replace damaged HDMI/USB ports or connector PCB, reflow or replace mainboard connectors. |
| Wi-Fi / Smart TV connectivity problems | Test Wi-Fi module, verify firmware, network diagnostics. | Reconfigure network, replace Wi-Fi module or antenna, firmware update or mainboard replacement. |
| Strange smells / burning smell | Immediate power-down, visual inspection for burnt components, smell origin tracing. | Replace burnt components or boards, check and replace wiring, clean soot and test safety before returning device. |
| TV overheating | Run thermal profiling, check ventilation and fan operation (if present), measure heatsink temps. | Clean vents, replace thermal pads, repair or replace cooling components, ensure PSU functioning correctly. |
| Firmware corruption / boot-loop | Access service menu, attempt firmware recovery via USB or JTAG, test boot sequences. | Re-flash firmware, replace flash memory or mainboard if corrupted. |
| Cracked screen / physical damage | Visual inspection and damage extent evaluation, estimate for panel replacement. | Panel replacement (often most costly), assess cost vs replace; repair frame or glass where possible for certain models. |
| Intermittent faults (works sometimes) | Long-duration stress-testing, vibration tests, thermal cycling to find cold solder joints. | Reflow solder joints, replace flaky components, secure loose connectors, replace boards if intermittent on critical ICs. |
Each repair includes full testing, warranty on parts and labor (terms supplied at time of service), and a clear quote before any replacement work is done.
How GossTech diagnoses TVs — our step-by-step process
- Initial Triage (on-call or in-shop): We ask for model, symptoms, and recent events (surge, fall, power flicker). If house call is needed, we perform basic tests on site.
- Safe power check: We test mains and power adapters and confirm the TV’s power board behavior using multimeters and oscilloscopes.
- Signal & input check: We confirm the fault is in the TV (not the cable box/decoder, satellite, or streaming device).
- Board-level inspection: Technicians open the TV, inspect boards for burned components, bulging capacitors, bad solder joints or disconnected cables.
- Module swap & bench testing: Where possible we swap suspect modules (T-CON, PSU, mainboard) with known-good units to pinpoint failure.
- Panel assessment: If the fault points to the screen/panel we assess repairability vs replacement cost and advise the customer.
- Firmware & calibration: After hardware repair we update firmware and perform picture/sound calibration to restore factory performance.
- Final QA & warranty: Each repaired TV goes through a 24–72 hour burn-in and functional test. We provide a service report and warranty details.
Pricing & transparency (what to expect)
GossTech provides free initial diagnostics for simple in-home checks in Kagio (call to confirm). For in-shop diagnostics and board-level bench tests, a small diagnostic fee may apply — this is credited toward the repair if you approve the work. Before any replacement we send a clear quote and wait for your approval.

Aftercare — how to reduce TV faults
- Use a surge protector or UPS to protect sensitive boards from power spikes.
- Keep ventilation clear; do not block vents.
- Avoid placing TVs in direct sunlight to reduce thermal stress.
- Regularly dust vents and backs to prevent overheating.
- For smart TVs, allow periodic firmware updates and avoid installing risky third-party apps.
