Every TV Problem — Listed One by One (Diagnosis + How GossTech Repairs It)
Below we list common TV faults individually, explain what they mean, how GossTech diagnoses each, and the typical repair steps. This is intentionally detailed to help customers understand what technicians do and why.
1. TV Won’t Turn On (No Power / Dead Set)
Symptoms: No LED indicator, no sound, screen stays black even when power button pressed.
Diagnosis: Check mains power and mains lead; test power outlet; inspect power board for blown capacitors, burnt components, or failed power IC; test fuse and standby circuit.
Repair: Replace blown fuses, replace faulty power supply board or capacitors, repair solder joints, replace power ICs, test remote/power switch. If repair not cost-effective, advise replacement.
2. TV Turns On But Screen Is Blank / Black
Symptoms: Power LED on; sound may be present but screen remains black or extremely dim.
Diagnosis: Confirm backlight operation (for LED/LCD); measure LED strips/backlight inverter (older CCFL); inspect T-con board, LVDS cable, and mainboard video output.
Repair: Replace or repair backlight strips or inverter; replace T-con board; replace LVDS cable; repair/replace mainboard if video output faulty.
3. Dim or Flickering Screen
Symptoms: Screen brightness fluctuates; picture fades in/out.
Diagnosis: Test backlight circuitry, capacitors on power board, LED driver, dimming control, firmware issues.
Repair: Replace faulty capacitors, LED driver IC, or backlight strips; update firmware if related to smart TV power-saving bugs.
4. Lines on Screen (Vertical / Horizontal)
Symptoms: Thin or wide lines across the display, either static or moving.
Diagnosis: Faulty T-con board, damaged display panel, or loose LVDS cable; in some cases, mainboard GPU faults.
Repair: Reseat/replace LVDS cable, replace T-con board. If lines persist due to panel damage, replacement of panel may be needed — we advise cost vs replacement.
5. Colour Problems (Pink, Green Tint, Wrong Colours)
Symptoms: Colours shifted; skin tones incorrect; single-colour tint.
Diagnosis: Bad T-con or mainboard video processor, failed color ICs, bad ribbon cables, incorrect picture settings or software bugs.
Repair: Replace T-con or mainboard, reseat cables, perform firmware update or factory reset, re-calibrate colour settings.
6. Sound Problems (No Sound, Distorted Sound, Low Volume)
Symptoms: No audio, low audio, crackling, or distorted audio even when picture is OK.
Diagnosis: Test internal speakers, amplifier IC on board, audio output stages; check external audio settings and connected devices.
Repair: Replace faulty speakers, repair/replace audio amplifier IC, fix wiring, update firmware, replace mainboard if audio subsystem is integrated and faulty.
7. TV Shows “No Signal”
Symptoms: “No Signal” message when using HDMI, AV, or tuner.
Diagnosis: Confirm input selection, test cables (HDMI/AV), test source devices (decoder, DVD, game console), check input port functionality, test TV tuner for antenna/Cable issues.
Repair: Replace faulty HDMI ports or tuner module, swap or repair cables, configure input settings, repair or replace connectors. For tuner-only issues, replace or repair tuner board.
8. HDMI / Port Faults (Ports Not Working)
Symptoms: HDMI ports show “no signal” or intermittently disconnect; physical damage present.
Diagnosis: Inspect HDMI port pins, test continuity, check internal board traces and HDMI controller.
Repair: Replace or re-solder HDMI port, replace HDMI controller board or mainboard as required.
9. Remote Control Not Working
Symptoms: TV doesn’t respond to remote.
Diagnosis: Test batteries, check IR receiver, test remote with camera to see IR LED, check remote programming for smart TV.
Repair: Replace or repair IR receiver, reprogram remote, replace remote if defective, suggest universal remote setup.
10. Smart TV Apps Not Working / Wi-Fi Issues
Symptoms: Apps crash, cannot connect to Wi-Fi, network errors.
Diagnosis: Test network connectivity, check router compatibility, firmware issues on TV, memory/storage constraints or corrupted app data.
Repair: Network troubleshooting (restart, reconfigure), manual firmware updates, factory reset if needed, clear app cache, replace mainboard if network chipset faulty.
11. TV Reboots Randomly / Crashes
Symptoms: TV turns off and on randomly; reboots during use.
Diagnosis: Power supply instability, overheating, firmware bugs, failing capacitors.
Repair: Replace faulty capacitors or power board, clean ventilation, update firmware, repair or replace failing mainboard.
12. Overheating
Symptoms: TV excessively hot, shuts down, or shows artifacts.
Diagnosis: Poor ventilation, dirty vents, failed cooling components, internal short.
Repair: Clean vents, improve placement recommendations, replace defective components, apply thermal paste where necessary.
13. Physical Damage (Cracked Screen, Impact Damage)
Symptoms: Cracks, black spots, dead zones on the panel.
Diagnosis: Visual inspection to confirm panel damage.
Repair: Panel replacement (often expensive). We provide honest cost estimate; for older TVs replacement may be recommended over repair.
14. Boot Loop or Stuck on Logo
Symptoms: TV stuck on brand logo during boot, fails to start.
Diagnosis: Corrupted firmware, failing eMMC or mainboard, software update interrupted.
Repair: Firmware re-flash, repair/replace mainboard or eMMC, perform factory reinstallation.
15. Ghosting or Afterimage (Burn-in / Image Retention)
Symptoms: Static images leaving residual ghost images. Common in OLED and plasma sets.
Diagnosis: Identify type (burn-in vs image retention); check usage history.
Repair: For image retention, run degauss/cycling procedures and software remedies; for permanent burn-in, panel replacement may be only solution.
16. Tuner or Channel Problems (Digital / Analog)
Symptoms: Channels missing, poor reception, scrambling, or intermittent channels.
Diagnosis: Inspect antenna/cable feed, LNB (for satellite), tuner module, check signal strength.
Repair: Re-align antenna, repair or replace tuner board, replace or upgrade antenna/Cable, test with set-top box to isolate TV tuner faults.
17. Visible Pixels or Lines (Dead / Stuck Pixels)
Symptoms: Single pixels stuck on a colour or dead (black).
Diagnosis: Visual inspection, pixel tests.
Repair: For stuck pixels, pixel-fixing routines and gentle pressure techniques; for dead pixels, panel replacement may be required unless under warranty.
18. Intermittent Display Issues (Backlight Fails Occasionally)
Symptoms: Screen blacks out for seconds then returns.
Diagnosis: Loose solder joints on backlight or power board, failing LED strips, failing connectors.
Repair: Reflow/solder connections, replace LED strips, replace power board.
How GossTech Diagnoses (Our Methodology & Tools)
GossTech uses a structured 5-step diagnostic approach so you pay only for what’s needed:
- Remote Triage (phone/email): We collect model/serial, symptoms, recent events (power surge, lightning), and error codes. This often reveals simple fixes (e.g., wrong input selected, remote batteries).
- On-site Inspection or Drop-off Check: Our technician inspects the TV, conducts power and continuity tests, checks connectors, and reproduces the fault.
- Component-Level Testing: We use multimeters, oscilloscopes, LED testers, and test-boards to isolate faults (power board, T-con, mainboard, backlight).
- Reproduction & Verification: After repair, we run burn-in and quality checks across channels, inputs, and streaming apps to verify stability.
- Customer Handover: Technician explains the repair, shows replaced parts (where appropriate), gives maintenance tips, and issues an invoice and warranty details for the repair part/work.
Typical Repair Workflow & Turnaround
- Simple fixes (remote, settings, cable replacement): often completed same day or during on-site visit.
- Board replacements (T-con, power board): typically same-day or 24–48 hours (subject to spare availability).
- Panel replacements or major repairs: may take longer due to part sourcing; GossTech advises on cost-effectiveness vs replacement.
(Actual turnaround depends on parts availability. Contact us with your model number for a specific estimate.)
Parts & Warranty
GossTech fits quality replacement parts and offers limited warranties on parts and labor (warranty period varies by part — inquire for specifics). We avoid counterfeit or low-quality components and will always advise if a repair is temporary or non-cost effective.
