How GossTech performs diagnosis — our step-by-step approach
- Call / Booking & Triage: Customer calls +254 723 613 664 or emails info@gosstech.co.ke. We perform a short phone triage to collect model, symptoms, and availability.
- On-site quick check: For minor faults (e.g., no sound, remote issues, tuning) we try to fix on-site. Technician brings common spares and tools.
- Workshop pickup or customer drop-off: For complex faults (power supply, board replacement, panel issues) we collect the TV to our workshop or the customer drops it off. A formal repair estimate is provided.
- Detailed diagnostics: Full electronic tests — voltage checks, board-level tests, firmware checks, and component-level troubleshooting. A defect report is prepared.
- Repair & parts sourcing: We use tested spare parts — boards, T-Con, LED strips, speakers. Where genuine manufacturer parts are available we advise; we also provide high-quality compatible parts with warranty.
- Testing & QA: Multi-hour burn-in and functional tests (channel tune, smart apps, volume, connectivity) before releasing the TV.
- Delivery & warranty: We return the TV and provide post-repair warranty on replaced parts and labor as agreed.

Preventative maintenance tips (keep your TV healthy)
- Keep your TV in a well-ventilated spot — avoid enclosed cabinets without airflow.
- Dust the set regularly and clean vents with a soft brush or compressed air.
- Avoid leaving static images on Smart TVs for long periods to prevent burn-in (especially OLED).
- Use stabilizers or surge protectors in areas with unstable mains power.
- If you have intermittent issues, power-cycle the TV and network equipment before calling — often simple resets fix app/network problems.
- For wall-mounted TVs, check wall-mount fixings annually and inspect cables for wear.
FAQ — Frequently asked questions
Q: Do you offer warranty on repairs?
A: Yes. GossTech provides limited warranty on parts and labor; the exact duration depends on the component replaced (commonly 30–90 days). Warranty terms are shared on the repair receipt.
Q: Do you service Smart TV software issues?
A: Yes — we handle app crashes, firmware updates, network connectivity issues and can re-flash or update firmware when available.
Q: What if my TV panel is cracked — is repair worth it?
A: Panel replacement costs can be significant and sometimes approach the cost of a new TV. We provide a transparent quote and advise whether repair or replacement is the more economical choice.
Q: Can you repair TVs bought from outside Kenya?
A: Yes. We repair many imported models. For warranty-related manufacturer parts, availability can vary; we’ll advise on compatible parts where originals are unavailable.
Q: How do I prepare my TV for collection?
A: Remove any wall mount brackets if possible (we can remove them too), secure any loose cables and remote, and label the TV if you have multiple sets. Remove personal accounts from Smart TVs if you prefer.
