All common television problems — diagnosis & GossTech repair process

Below we list TV faults one-by-one, explain how they are diagnosed, and what the typical GossTech repair process looks like. This is designed to be clear for both homeowners and business clients.

How GossTech works (standard workflow for each fault):

  1. Remote triage via phone — first checks and quick fixes you can try.
  2. On-site visit (if the issue can be resolved at home) — mains check, connectors, remote & settings, simple part swaps.
  3. Workshop diagnosis (if complicated) — full bench testing, oscilloscope and test benches, parts replacement, firmware updates.
  4. Customer approval for parts & cost. Repairs made only after approval. Warranty issued on parts & labour.

1. TV will not power on (completely dead)

Symptoms: No LED, no sound, no screen glow.
Diagnosis: Check mains, power cord, AC inlet, fuse, standby supply on the power board, swollen capacitors, blown fuse, board short. Use a multimeter to test standby voltage rails and continuity.
Repair: Replace faulty power board components (capacitors, SMD resistors, or entire power supply board), replace mains fuse, repair solder joints, or replace the whole power board. If damage from surge or lightning is present, we advise replacing affected boards and fitting surge protection.

2. TV powers on but no image (sound present)

Symptoms: Sound plays but screen is black or very dim.
Diagnosis: Check backlight inverter (for CCFL) or LED backlight driver (for LED TVs), T-Con board, LVDS cable between mainboard and T-Con, panel voltage rails. Test with flashlight to see if panel is showing a very faint image (backlight failure).
Repair: Replace LED strips or backlight driver/inverter; repair/replace T-Con board or LVDS cable; if panel electronics are irreparably damaged, discuss panel replacement cost vs replacement TV.

3. Lines on screen, flickering or distorted image

Symptoms: Horizontal/vertical lines, intermittent flicker, colour bands.
Diagnosis: Faulty T-Con (timing controller) board, damaged ribbon cables, failed mainboard GPU outputs, loose connectors, or panel failure.
Repair: Reseat and clean connectors, replace T-Con board, replace LVDS ribbons, repair mainboard solder joints (BGA rework rarely), or replace panel electronics if needed.

4. Colour problems — tint, green/red/blue cast or missing colours

Symptoms: Image has wrong colour balance, one colour missing.
Diagnosis: Check colour processing on mainboard, inspect video IC and associated components, verify inputs and source. Test with different inputs to rule out settings or external device.
Repair: Replace or reflow faulty mainboard chips or replace the mainboard. Firmware updates sometimes resolve colour processing bugs in smart TVs.

5. Sound problems — no sound or distorted audio

Symptoms: No audio, audio distortion, only from one speaker.
Diagnosis: Check volume/mute, audio settings, external audio outputs, internal speaker connections, amplifier circuits on mainboard. Use test tones.
Repair: Replace internal speakers, repair speaker wiring, replace audio amplifier section on the mainboard or the entire mainboard if needed.

6. Smart TV software / apps / Wi-Fi problems

Symptoms: Apps crash, Wi-Fi won’t connect, software freeze, remote navigation lag.
Diagnosis: Software/firmware bug, failed flash memory, Wi-Fi module failure, misconfigured network.
Repair / Service: Reinstall or update firmware, reset and reconfigure network settings, replace Wi-Fi/bluetooth module or flash memory if corrupted. GossTech will advise on data loss risk and configure your network securely.

7. HDMI / AV input issues (no signal / intermittent)

Symptoms: “No Signal” despite correct input, intermittent signal, handshake errors.
Diagnosis: Faulty HDMI port, dirty/oxidised connectors, HDCP/handshake errors, or faulty source device/cable.
Repair: Clean or replace HDMI/AV ports, replace connector assemblies, test with known-good cables and sources, repair mainboard if HDCP circuitry is damaged.

8. Remote control not working

Symptoms: Remote actions ignored, IR sensor not responding.
Diagnosis: Check batteries, re-pair remote, test IR sensor on TV, check smart remote pairing.
Repair: Replace remote or reprogram/pair smart remote, replace IR receiver on the TV if faulty.

9. Overheating, TV shuts down after a while

Symptoms: TV works but shuts off after some time or shows thermal shutdown.
Diagnosis: Blocked vents, failed internal cooling components, power board overheating, bad capacitors.
Repair: Clean vents, replace thermal pads or fans (if applicable), replace failed components, improve ventilation recommendations.

10. TV has burnt smell, smoke or visible damage

Symptoms: Burning smell, visible smoke, or charred parts. (Safety-critical)
Diagnosis: Inspect for shorted components, burnt board areas, damaged power transformers or capacitors. Isolate immediately from mains.
Repair: Safety-first: we will not attempt field repair if dangerous. Units are taken to workshop for full board replacement or recommended disposal if unsafe. We provide a risk assessment and costed options.

11. Tuner, channel search or satellite decoding issues

Symptoms: Unable to tune channels, pixelation on Free-to-air or decoder channels.
Diagnosis: Check antenna/cable, tuner module function, LNB and satellite equipment, signal strength levels. Test with alternate sources.
Repair: Reconfigure tuner, replace tuner module, realign antenna/satellite dish (we provide dish alignment service), or repair/replace decoders.

12. Panel damage (cracked screen or dead pixels, burn-in)

Symptoms: Physical cracks, dead/stuck pixels, or image retention / burn-in (OLED panels).
Diagnosis: Visual inspection; dead pixel checks; burn-in diagnostics.
Repair: Physical panel cracks require panel replacement — often cost-prohibitive compared to new TV. For dead pixels and minor panel faults we attempt warranty/repair where cost-effective. For burn-in, pixel-shifting solutions may help; for severe burn-in, panel replacement or replacement TV is advised.

13. Intermittent on/off or reboot loops

Symptoms: TV restarts randomly or loops at startup.
Diagnosis: Faulty power rail, bad capacitors, corrupted firmware, failing mainboard.
Repair: Replace power board components, re-flash firmware, replace mainboard.

Preventative maintenance tips (to avoid future TV faults)

  1. Use a surge protector — power spikes are common and kill power boards.
  2. Keep vents clear and dust-free — dust builds heat and causes failures.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight on the screen to reduce heat & bleaching.
  4. Turn off unused smart features (automatic updates during heavy use can cause thermal load).
  5. Use quality HDMI and antenna cables — cheap cables produce noise and handshake errors.
  6. For hotels & bars: schedule regular maintenance checks every 6–12 months.
