How GossTech diagnoses — what to expect during a service visit
- Initial call & triage: You call or email with symptoms. Our support team logs your complaint, confirms address in Kirinyaga, and offers an estimated window for a mobile technician.
- On-site inspection (where possible): Technician arrives with diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, IR tester, spare cables). Simple repairs (cable swaps, re-seating connectors, settings fixes, firmware updates) are often done on-site.
- Workshop repair (if needed): For board-level work (SMD reflow, capacitor replacement, T-CON or panel repairs), the TV is taken to our workshop. We issue a job card and estimated turnaround.
- Detailed diagnosis report: You receive a clear description of the fault, failed components, and repair options (repair vs replacement), with a cost estimate for parts and labor.
- Quality checks & testing: After repair, the TV is burn-tested (minimum hours), software updated, and settings calibrated. We test multiple inputs and run stress tests to ensure reliability.
- Warranty & aftercare: Repairs come with a limited parts & labor warranty (term depending on part). We provide maintenance tips to avoid common repeat issues.
Pricing & parts policy (summary)
- Diagnosis fee: Small inspection fee may apply for on-site tests; often waived if repair is accepted.
- Parts: We use quality OEM or recommended compatible parts; genuine parts when available. Costs vary by brand and model (panel replacements are the most expensive).
- Labor: Competitive rates adjusted for complexity (board-level repair higher than simple replacements).
- Estimate & approval: No major work is done without your approval. We provide a clear written estimate.
- Warranty: Parts and labor warranty provided — specific terms given on repair receipt.

Preventive maintenance tips to extend your TV’s life
- Keep ventilation clear — don’t place TVs in enclosed cabinets without airflow.
- Use a quality surge protector to prevent lightning/power spike damage.
- Clean dust from vents periodically with a soft brush or low-pressure air.
- Avoid prolonged static images to reduce burn-in risk (for OLED/plasma).
- Update Smart TV firmware when official updates are released.
- Use stable mounting hardware for wall-mounted sets; avoid pressure on the panel.
- For rural areas, consider a voltage stabilizer if mains power fluctuates.
FAQ — quick answers
