How GossTech diagnoses Skyworth TVs — our process
GossTech follows a structured, transparent diagnostic process so you know what’s happening at every step:
- Initial triage (remote/phone)
- We gather model number, symptoms, recent events (lightning, power surge), and serial number. We advise simple checks you can do at home (power source, cables, remote batteries) to save time.
- On-site inspection or drop-off
- For on-site visits we inspect the unit visually and test power and input sources. For drop-offs we perform a full bench test.
- Electronic diagnostics
- Power board, main board, T-con board, and LED/backlight testing using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and dedicated TV service tools. For smart TV issues we connect to serial/UART where needed to view boot logs.
- Clear report & quote
- We provide a clear report of findings: what’s faulty, what parts are needed, and a repair recommendation. Pricing is transparent and itemized.
- Repair & quality checks
- Repairs are done with care using tested replacement parts. Every repaired TV goes through burn-in and quality checks to ensure stable operation.
- After-service & warranty
- GossTech provides a parts & workmanship warranty on repairs (terms shared in the repair report). We also provide maintenance tips to avoid future faults.
Parts & quality
- We source genuine or high-quality equivalent parts (power boards, T-con boards, LED strips, ICs) where available.
- If a panel replacement is the only option, we explain cost vs replacement considerations to help you choose the most economical solution.
Security & data on Smart TVs
Smart TVs can store app logins and personal information. GossTech will not access or use your personal app credentials; we recommend logging out of streaming apps before handing over the unit. For firmware repairs requiring a factory reset, we inform you up-front and obtain permission.
Pricing & quotes
We provide itemised quotes after diagnosis. Prices depend on fault complexity and cost of replacement parts. (To get started, call 0723613664, email info@gosstech.co.ke, or book via www.gosstech.co.ke.)
Prevention & maintenance tips
- Use a quality surge protector or voltage stabilizer.
- Keep ventilation clear and avoid placing TVs near heat sources.
- Avoid sudden power-off during firmware updates.
- Clean dust from vents periodically; do not spray liquids directly on the set.
- For smart TV performance: delete unused apps and keep firmware updated.
