How GossTech diagnoses Von TVs — step-by-step
When you hand a Von TV to GossTech (or book an on-site visit) we follow a clear diagnostic flow so you know what’s wrong and how much repair will cost.
- Initial intake & symptom capture — We record model, serial, and all symptoms from the customer.
- Visual & basic tests on-site — Power, remote, source checks (HDMI/USB). If simple fix (fuse, loose cable), we repair on the spot.
- Workshop diagnostics (if needed) — Full bench testing: power board trace, measure voltages, test backlight, T-Con, and main board.
- Detailed fault report — We present findings, parts required, estimated cost and time. You approve before we proceed.
- Repair & testing — Replace or repair components; perform 24–72 hour burn-in test to confirm stability.
- Return & warranty — We return the TV with a service report and limited parts/labour warranty (terms provided with invoice).

Pricing & parts — what to expect
Repair costs vary by fault severity and parts required. Typical price ranges (indicative):
- Minor repairs (fuse, firmware, remote, connectors): KES 800 – 2,500
- Moderate repairs (power board, speakers, T-Con): KES 2,500 – 8,000
- Major repairs (full backlight strip replacement, main board replacement, panel replacement): KES 8,000 – 30,000+
Note: Panel replacement is often expensive; in some cases replacement/new TV may be more cost-effective. We always give transparent estimates before proceeding.
On-site vs Workshop repair — which is right?
- On-site repair is ideal for simple fixes: no power, remote problems, loose connectors, firmware updates, and small part swaps. Faster and less costly for you.
- Workshop repair is used for complex tasks: board-level soldering, backlight strip replacement, main board replacement, in-depth diagnostics. We provide collection and delivery where possible.
Preventative care & tips to extend your Von TV’s life
- Use a surge protector — many failures stem from voltage spikes.
- Keep vents clear — avoid overheating.
- Clean gently — use microfibre cloth, avoid liquids.
- Update firmware when manufacturer releases updates.
- Avoid prolonged 24/7 operation — give the TV breaks to prolong backlight life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do you use genuine Von spare parts?
A: We source original parts when available. For discontinued parts we provide high-quality compatible replacements and advise on warranty and longevity.
Q: How long does a typical repair take?
A: Simple on-site fixes can be same-day. Workshop repairs usually take 2–5 business days depending on parts availability. (We provide faster options subject to stock.)
Q: Do you offer warranty on repairs?
A: Yes — we provide a limited warranty on parts and labour; details are included on the invoice after service.
Q: Can you repair water-damaged TVs?
