Our Changhong TV diagnosis & repair process (step-by-step)
- Initial contact & triage — You call 0723613664, email info@gosstech.co.ke or use the contact form at www.gosstech.co.ke. Provide model number, exact symptoms, and location.
- On-site check or drop-off — For Nairobi addresses we offer doorstep triage; otherwise bring or send the TV to our workshop.
- Free basic inspection (for doorstep) or bench diagnostic (in workshop) — Technician runs electrical checks, firmware tests and reproduces the fault.
- Estimate & approval — We provide a clear written quote: parts, labour, estimated turnaround, and warranty terms. No work is done without your go-ahead.
- Repair — Board-level component repair, module replacement (power board, mainboard, T-Con, speakers, LED strips), or software reflash. We bench-test for minimum 24–48 hours post-repair.
- Quality checks — Image calibration, audio checks, Wi-Fi/apps testing, and a final clean.
- Return & warranty — We return the TV to your location (Nairobi) or notify you for collection. Repairs include a limited warranty on parts and labour.
Parts, spare components & lifecycle
GossTech stocks common Changhong spare parts (power boards, T-Con boards, LED strips, mainboards, Wi-Fi modules). For rare or discontinued parts we source high-quality compatible components from trusted suppliers. When a panel is irreparably damaged, we give a fair cost vs replacement analysis.
Other brands & models GossTech repairs
GossTech services a wide range of television brands — not only Changhong. Common brands we repair include:
- Samsung (LED, QLED, The Frame, Smart TV)
- LG (OLED, NanoCell, Smart TV)
- Sony (BRAVIA series)
- Panasonic
- Philips
- Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, JVC, Vizio
- Hisense, Skyworth, Skyview, TCL, Haier
- Older CRT / Plasma (limited support)
We repair models across LED/LCD/Smart/OLED panels, including board-level repair, firmware updates and panel replacements where feasible.
Pricing, turnaround & warranty (typical)
- Diagnostic fee: Often waived for on-site triage in Nairobi; bench diagnostics may incur a small fee (deductible from repair cost if approved).
- Common board repairs: From a modest labour + parts cost (depends on exact board & model).
- Panel replacements: Typically the most expensive option — we provide cost/benefit advice.
- Turnaround: Simple fixes (remote, cable, firmware) — same day to 48 hours. Board-level repairs — commonly 2–5 working days depending on part availability. (Actual times quoted per job.)
- Warranty: GossTech provides a warranty on parts and labour (usually 30–90 days depending on component). Warranty terms are included in the written estimate.
Preventive care tips for Changhong TVs
- Use a surge protector or UPS to protect the power board.
- Avoid placing the TV where direct sunlight or heat may accelerate LED aging.
- Keep ventilation clear — overheating shortens electronics lifespan.
- Update Smart TV firmware when manufacturer releases stable updates.
- Clean the screen with a soft, dry microfibre cloth — never spray liquids directly onto the screen.
- If you notice small issues (flicker, slow boot), have it checked early — small faults are cheaper to fix.
Quick FAQ
Q: Do you repair TVs on-site in Nairobi?
A: Yes — GossTech offers on-site diagnostics and minor repairs across Nairobi; complex bench repairs are performed at our workshop.
Q: How do I know if a repair is worth it vs buying a new TV?
A: We provide an honest cost/benefit analysis. If the panel (LCD/LED) is irreparably damaged or repair cost exceeds ~60–70% of replacement, we’ll recommend replacement.
Q: Do you use original Changhong parts?
A: Where available we use original parts; if originals are unavailable we use high-quality compatible parts and disclose this on the estimate.
