How GossTech Diagnoses — our method (step-by-step)
- Remote triage (phone/WhatsApp): We start with quick remote checks you can do (power plug, mains, remote batteries, simple settings). This often fixes simple issues fast.
- On-site inspection: Our technician arrives with diagnostic tools — multimeter, test patterns, LED tester, Wi-Fi tester, spare parts for common faults.
- Systematic isolation: We separate power, video, and audio subsystems. We test external sources (HDMI, antenna) and internal boards (PSU, mainboard, T-Con).
- Workshop escalation: If the fault requires board-level repair, firmware reflash or panel replacement, we bring the TV to our Nairobi workshop where bench equipment and spare parts are available.
- Transparent quotation: Before any non-trivial repair we give a clear quote including parts, labor, tax and warranty.
- Testing & quality check: After repair we run burn-tests, signal checks and Wi-Fi/Smart features tests for a minimum assurance period.
- Follow-up & warranty: GossTech provides a warranty on parts and labor (terms explained in the quote). We also offer maintenance advice to reduce recurrence.

Pricing, Warranty & Turnaround
- Initial callout / diagnostic fee: Applies for on-site visits in Mwea and surrounding areas (waived if you accept the repair). Exact fee depends on distance.
- Parts & labor: Quoted transparently before repair. We use original-equivalent parts where original manufacturer parts are unavailable.
- Turnaround: Minor fixes can be done on-site same day. Board-level or panel replacements require workshop time — typically 2–7 business days depending on part sourcing.
