Below is a comprehensive list of common TV problems, each followed by the exact diagnostic approach GossTech uses and the typical repair workflow. We list problems one-by-one and explain the technical and customer-facing steps.

Note: All on-site diagnostics are performed with customer consent. Where parts replacement is needed we provide an itemised estimate before any work proceeds.

1. TV does not power ON (no lights, no sound)

Diagnosis:

  • Check mains power and household socket with multimeter.

Repair:

  • Replace blown mains fuse or damaged power cable.

  • Re-solder cold joints on power connectors.

Outcome: Restored reliable power with safety checks and surge-protection advice.


2. TV turns on but screen is blank or black (sound present)

Diagnosis:

  • Confirm audio is playing to rule out total failure.
  • Inspect backlight / LED driver and inverter circuits.
  • Test T-Con board (timing control) and LVDS cable connection between mainboard and panel.

Repair:

  • Replace faulty LED backlight strips or LED driver.
  • Replace or repair the inverter board (for CCFL panels) or LED driver board.

Preventive maintenance tips for longer TV life

  • Ensure the TV sits in a ventilated area — avoid fully enclosed cabinets without airflow.
  • Connect through a reliable surge protector; consider voltage stabiliser in areas with frequent power fluctuations.
  • Clean dust from vents using a soft brush or low-pressure air once every 3–6 months.
  • Avoid leaving the TV on for extremely long periods; use energy-saving and screen-protection settings.
  • Keep firmware updated and uninstall unused apps to reduce processing load on smart TVs.
