How GossTech diagnoses a Philips TV (step-by-step)
We follow a consistent, documented process so customers know exactly what we check:
- Customer intake & symptom logging: Collect model, serial, purchase/age info, symptom details and when fault started.
- Visual & safety check: Inspect for visible damage, burnt smell, water ingress; confirm safe to test.
- Power tests: Measure mains input, standby voltages, check fuses and power board rails with multimeter.
- Backlight & panel tests: For no-picture issues we test LED strings with dedicated tools and a torch test.
- T-con / LVDS checks: Verify timing board (T-con) outputs and ribbon cable continuity.
- Main board tests: Check processor/audio/video ICs, HDMI ports, and flash memory where applicable.
- Firmware & software checks: For smart TV problems we check firmware version, perform factory reset and reflash if needed.
- Component-level diagnosis: Where needed we run capacitor ESR checks, solder joint inspection, and thermal profiling.
- Estimate & authorisation: Provide a written estimate (fault found, parts needed, price, turnaround) and await customer approval.
- Repair & bench test: Perform replacement/repair, run 24–72 hour burn-in tests for stability.
- Final QA & handover: Calibrate picture, test smart features, deliver with a warranty document.
Typical repair turnaround & warranty
- Simple fixes (remote, software, HDMI): same-day to 48 hours.
- Board replacements, backlight strips: 2–7 business days depending on part availability.
- Major panel replacements or rare parts: may take longer; we provide updates and alternatives.
All repairs come with a warranty period (varies by repair type — parts & labour). Warranty details are provided on the repair invoice.
