Overview — Common Television Problems (complete list with detailed diagnosis & repairs)

Below is a comprehensive list of TV problems — every common fault customers encounter — with how GossTech diagnoses and repairs each one. Each item is written so search engines and customers find the content useful and actionable.

1. TV won’t power on (dead TV)

Symptoms: No lights, no sound, no screen.
Diagnosis: Check power outlet, power cable, fuse, power board, standby LED, internal capacitors, and mainboard. Use multimeter to test incoming voltage and power rails.
GossTech repair: Replace faulty power supply board or capacitors; repair or replace blown fuses; replace power cable or connector; re-program standby circuits if required. If mainboard is dead, we advise replacement and install a tested OEM or high-quality compatible board.

2. TV powers on but screen stays black (no picture)

Symptoms: LEDs light, sound may work but screen is black.
Diagnosis: Check backlight (for LED/LCD), T-con board, LVDS cable, mainboard video output, inverter (older CCFL models), and panel.
GossTech repair: Replace LED backlight strips or LED driver, repair/replace T-con board, re-seat or replace LVDS cable, replace inverter (for CCFL), or replace mainboard if required. We test the panel to determine if panel replacement is necessary and present cost options.

3. Dim screen or backlight flicker / backlight failure

Symptoms: Screen very dim, flickering brightness, visible bands.
Diagnosis: Test backlight LEDs, LED driver, voltage supply circuits, and PWM dimming circuits.
GossTech repair: Replace failing LED strips or LED driver board; repair dimming circuit or replace power supply. We source quality LED strips compatible with the model.

4. Vertical or horizontal lines on screen

Symptoms: Solid lines, bands, or color traces across screen.
Diagnosis: Inspect T-con board, LVDS cable, mainboard GPU output, and panel flex connectors. Perform display test patterns.
GossTech repair: Replace or repair T-con board, re-seat/replace LVDS cable, or replace mainboard. If panel column/row drivers are damaged, we advise the customer; sometimes panel replacement is the only fix.

5. Colors wrong — color tint (red/green/blue) or washed out colors

Symptoms: Color imbalance, green/red tint, grayscale issues.
Diagnosis: Check color processing in mainboard, video processor ICs, T-con, and panel color drivers. Inspect picture settings and any damage.
GossTech repair: Repair or replace mainboard components (video processor), update or reflash firmware, calibrate color using test patterns; replace faulty T-con or panel if hardware damage exists.

6. Sound problems — no sound, distorted sound, speaker hiss

Symptoms: No audio, low volume, distortion, intermittent audio.
Diagnosis: Test TV internal speakers, audio amplifier IC, audio board, HDMI/ARC audio paths, external speaker connection, and software audio routes.
GossTech repair: Replace internal speakers, repair audio amplifier circuits, fix loose contacts, reconfigure HDMI/ARC settings, update firmware. For soundbar/AV receiver integration, we test and repair connections.

7. Remote control not working / TV not responding to remote

Symptoms: TV does not respond to remote; IR sensor not responding.
Diagnosis: Check remote batteries, IR receiver, sensor cable, pairing for Bluetooth remotes, and remote control functionality.
GossTech repair: Replace IR sensor or remote receiver board, repair or replace remote if damaged, re-pair Bluetooth/Wi-Fi remotes, clean sensor area. We also supply replacement remotes for most models if clients need them.

8. TV turns on/off by itself (random reboots)

Symptoms: TV reboots, goes to standby, or cycles power.
Diagnosis: Look for power supply issues, overheating protection, software crashes, bad capacitors, or faulty on/off relay. Check scheduled timers and HDMI-CEC devices causing wake/sleep.
GossTech repair: Repair power supply, replace bad capacitors, update firmware, disable conflicting HDMI-CEC devices or timers, replace faulty relays or power ICs.

9. Software / firmware issues, apps crashing on Smart TVs

Symptoms: Streaming apps freeze, slow menu responses, Wi-Fi pairing failure.
Diagnosis: Review installed firmware, available updates, network connectivity, app cache issues, or corrupted flash memory.
GossTech repair: Perform firmware updates, reinstall/clear app caches, factory reset when appropriate (with data backup where possible), repair or replace internal flash/memory chips if corrupted. We help configure Wi-Fi and smart features for reliable streaming.

10. HDMI / USB / AV port faults (no signal from external devices)

Symptoms: No image/sound from HDMI devices, ports physically damaged, error messages.
Diagnosis: Test ports with known working sources, inspect HDMI board and connectors, check ESD protection diodes and signal traces.
GossTech repair: Replace HDMI/USB board, repair solder joints, replace damaged connectors, fix port circuit protection components.

11. Pixel problems, burn-in, ghosting (OLED / Plasma)

Symptoms: Permanent image retention, ghost images, stuck pixels.
Diagnosis: Run pixel tests, examine usage history, analyze image retention severity.
GossTech repair: For stuck pixels, we attempt pixel refresh routines and panel treatments. For OLED burn-in or severe plasma burn-in, we offer panel diagnostic and replacement options and explain expected costs/benefits. Preventive advice is provided.

12. Overheating & fan failure (commercial displays)

Symptoms: TV gets very hot, shuts down, or shows artifacts under load.
Diagnosis: Inspect ventilation, internal fan (if applicable), heat-sink thermal paste, and power dissipation circuits.
GossTech repair: Clean vents, replace or repair cooling fans, apply thermal paste, replace heat-sensitive components, and recommend improved mounting or ventilation.

13. Tuner / reception problems (no channels or poor reception)

Symptoms: Missing channels, poor signal, pixelation on terrestrial/cable tuner.
Diagnosis: Test antenna/cable feed, tuner board, signal levels, and software channel scan settings.
GossTech repair: Repair/replace tuner board, fix input RF connectors, advise antenna/cable improvements, update channel tables, and perform signal re-scan.

14. Picture is rolling or unstable

Symptoms: Image moves vertically/horizontally or rolls slowly.
Diagnosis: Inspect sync circuits, power rails, horizontal/vertical deflection circuits (older sets), or timing signals from T-con/mainboard.
GossTech repair: Repair sync circuits, replace timing ICs, or replace defective boards. Older CRT/Plasma sets may require specialized service.

15. TV shows artifacts or pixelation during video playback

Symptoms: Blocks, pixelation, strange artifacts on screen.
Diagnosis: Test source device, HDMI cable, mainboard video decoder, and streaming app. Confirm if issue is source or TV internal processing.
GossTech repair: Replace or repair mainboard video decoder, recommend higher-bandwidth HDMI cables, update firmware, or advise on source replacement/repair.

16. Physical damage — cracked screen or cabinet damage

Symptoms: Cracks, shattered glass, broken frame.
Diagnosis: Assess extent of panel damage, determine if panel repair is possible (usually panel replacement).
GossTech repair: Provide a replacement panel quote (where available), replace bezel/frame, or advise on replacement TV if panel parts are unavailable or cost-prohibitive.

17. Smart-TV Wi-Fi / Ethernet connection problems

Symptoms: Cannot connect to Wi-Fi, frequent disconnections, slow streaming.
Diagnosis: Check router settings, TV network module, firmware, and interference issues. Run network diagnostics.
GossTech repair: Reconfigure network, update firmware, replace Wi-Fi module, test Ethernet port, or provide recommendations for network improvements (e.g., extender).
