What we repair: All common television problems (listed and explained)
Below we list every common TV problem one-by-one, explain the typical root causes, and describe how GossTech diagnoses and repairs each issue. Our approach: systematic visual inspection → electrical safety checks → component-level diagnostics → customer approval for repair → tested repair and warranty.
Table: Common TV faults — symptoms, diagnosis steps, and repair actions
| # | Symptom / Problem | How GossTech diagnoses it | Typical repair / solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | No power / TV won’t turn on | Check mains, power board voltages, fuse, standby LED, remote battery. Use multimeter to test incoming power and power supply rails. | Replace blown fuse, repair/replace power supply board, replace faulty standby ICs, fix power switch, replace adapter (for external PSU). |
| 2 | TV turns on but immediately turns off | Inspect power supply for failing capacitors, overheating parts, or protection circuits triggering. Run burn-in tests. | Replace bad electrolytic capacitors, replace faulty power ICs, repair shorted circuits, secure cooling/ventilation. |
| 3 | No backlight (screen black but audio plays) | Use a bright flashlight test to see faint picture; check LED/LCD backlight inverter or LED strips; measure LED driver voltages. | Replace LED driver board / inverter, replace LED strip(s) or LED assemblies, repair backlight connectors. |
| 4 | Lines on the screen (horizontal/vertical) | Run picture tests, check T-con board, LVDS cable, ribbon connectors, and panel driver ICs. | Reseat or replace T-con board, replace faulty LVDS cable, repair/replace panel driver ICs; in some cases panel replacement required. |
| 5 | Flickering screen | Monitor power rails for instability, test backlight driver, inspect capacitors, check firmware settings. | Replace failing capacitors, power regulator parts, backlight driver, firmware update if required. |
| 6 | Colour issues / colour bleeding / wrong colours | Check color settings, signal source, T-con, and main board video processing ICs. Run color calibration tests. | Recalibrate, replace T-con or main board if video decoder or color processing ICs faulted. |
| 7 | Distorted or frozen image | Check source device/cables, HDMI/AV connectors, memory leaks in smart TV firmware, overheating. | Replace HDMI board, clean connectors, update or re-flash firmware, replace main board if needed. |
| 8 | Sound but no picture (or vice versa) | Separate audio vs video path checks; test tuner/decoder outputs and display pipeline. | Repair/replace display driver modules, T-con, or audio amplifier modules as applicable. |
| 9 | Weak or intermittent Wi-Fi / Smart TV apps not working | Run network diagnostics, inspect Wi-Fi module, firmware, app cache and server connectivity. | Reconfigure network, replace Wi-Fi module, factory reset or re-flash firmware, explain ISP issues. |
| 10 | Remote control not working | Check remote batteries, IR receiver on TV, test with universal remote, inspect IR sensor circuit. | Replace remote, repair/replace IR receiver board, re-program remote or supply a universal remote. |

How GossTech diagnoses: Our step-by-step process
- Remote triage (phone/email): Quick troubleshooting by phone (we ask about symptoms, when the fault started, power source).
- On-site inspection (if chosen): We visit your home in Kerugoya to check power, connections, and run initial tests.
- Workshop diagnostics (for complex faults): If needed, we take the TV to our Nairobi workshop for board-level diagnostics, component testing, and LED/panel tests.
- Detailed estimate & approval: We provide a transparent quote including parts, labor, estimated lead time, and warranty terms. We never repair without your approval.
- Repair, testing & quality assurance: Repairs are completed with genuine or high-quality equivalent parts, then tested on burn-in cycles for reliability.
- Return & follow-up: We reinstall and test on-site if required, and follow up to ensure customer satisfaction.
Warranty: GossTech provides a warranty on parts and labor (terms depend on part type). Ask for warranty details when you request a quote.

Maintenance tips from GossTech (preventive care)
- Keep vents clear and ensure good airflow.
- Use surge protectors to protect boards from transient spikes.
- Avoid very high brightness settings for extended periods (reduces panel stress).
- Update smart TV firmware when recommended (but avoid unstable beta firmware).
- Use stable and certified HDMI cables to prevent port damage.
- For wall-mounted sets, ensure secure mounts and avoid tilting that stresses connectors.
- If not in use for long periods, unplug or use standby correctly.
