How GossTech diagnoses Syinix TV problems — step-by-step
GossTech follows a repeatable, transparent diagnostics process so you know exactly what’s wrong and how we’ll fix it.
- Initial intake & symptom capture — Customer describes symptoms over phone/email or at drop-off. We capture model number, serial, purchase info if available.
- Visual inspection — Check for physical damage, burnt components, swollen capacitors, water ingress, and loose connectors.
- Power checks — Measure voltages at power board outputs to confirm PSU health; test standby circuits.
- Signal & board testing — Swap input sources (HDMI/USB), check T-Con, mainboard and audio board using test patterns and diagnostic tools.
- Component-level diagnostic — Test capacitors, diodes, and regulators with multimeter/oscilloscope; identify failing components.
- Software checks — Boot log/firmware review for Smart TVs; perform firmware updates or software resets when applicable.
- Estimate & approval — Provide a written estimate (parts, labour, warranty) and await customer approval before repair.
- Repair & quality test — Carry out repairs or part replacements; run extended burn-in and functional tests.
- Customer handover & advice — Explain the repair done, provide care tips and warranty documents.
Typical repairs and technical notes
- Power board repair/replacement: Syinix TVs commonly develop bulging capacitors on power boards. We replace electrolytic capacitors with high-quality equivalents or replace the whole board when necessary.
- Backlight/LED strip replacement: Faint or no picture with sound is often failed LED strips. GossTech sources compatible LED strips and performs careful panel disassembly and reassembly to avoid new damage.
- T‑Con & mainboard repairs: Lines on screen, flicker, or boot failures often trace to T-Con or mainboard faults. Where repair is possible we prefer component-level repairs to save costs; otherwise we fit replacement boards.
- Panel replacement: If the LCD panel itself is cracked or internally damaged, panel replacement may be required. Panels are expensive; we provide honest advice on repair vs replacement cost-effectiveness.
- Smart TV firmware & Wi‑Fi fixes: For software bugs we update firmware, clear corrupted caches, or replace the Wi‑Fi module when hardware is faulty.
- Socket & I/O repairs: Broken HDMI/USB/AV ports are repaired by micro-soldering techniques or replaced with compatible I/O modules.

Preventive care & maintenance tips for Syinix TVs
- Keep vents clear — ensure at least a few inches of airflow around the TV.
- Use surge protection — use a good surge protector to protect the PSU from voltage spikes.
- Avoid humidity and direct sunlight — moisture and heat shorten component life.
- Clean the screen gently with a microfiber cloth and approved cleaner — never spray liquid directly on the screen.
- Power cycle occasionally — reboot smart TVs once in a while to clear memory and app caches.
