How GossTech diagnoses an Aquos TV (step-by-step)
- Remote intake / call: You call 0723613664 or email info@gosstech.co.ke and describe the issue. We give a preliminary checklist and booking window.
- Initial triage (phone): Quick troubleshooting over phone (power cycle, check cables, test source). Many simple issues fixed remotely.
- Onsite or workshop inspection: If remote help fails, our technician visits your location in Nairobi (onsite) or collects the TV for workshop diagnosis. We bring diagnostic tools: multimeter, oscilloscope (if needed), spare boards, LED tester.
- Detailed diagnostics: Visual inspection, voltage checks, signal tracing (input → mainboard → T-CON → panel), firmware/boot logs for smart TVs. We produce a written estimate of fault, parts required, cost and repair time.
- Repair with approval: On approval, we repair using tested, compatible parts. We keep you updated and test thoroughly.
- Final testing & warranty: Full functional testing (24–72 hours) before return. Repairs come with a parts & workmanship warranty (terms vary by repair).
- Follow-up: Post-repair support by phone/email.

Preventive maintenance tips for Aquos TVs
- Keep vents clear; avoid enclosing the TV in tight cabinets.

- Avoid extended static images to reduce panel stress.
- Update firmware when manufacturer releases stable updates.
- Use original/quality HDMI cables and power cords.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q — My Aquos TV has sound but a black screen. Is the panel dead?
A — Not always. Many cases are backlight driver or LED strip failures, or a T-CON fault. GossTech will test the backlight with a torch test, voltage checks and determine if the panel itself needs replacing.
Q — Is panel replacement worth it?
A — Panel replacements are the most expensive repair. For older TVs or where panel cost approaches replacement value, we’ll advise on repair vs replace with transparent cost comparison.
Q — Do you offer same-day repairs?
A — For common board or part swaps we often complete repairs within 1–3 days. Same-day onsite fixes depend on technician availability and part stock. Contact 0723613664 for urgency.
Q — Do you replace firmware or custom OS components?
A — Yes — we flash official firmware updates, factory reset smart TVs and resolve app / OS corruption issues. We do not install unofficial/pirated firmware.
