All television problems — listed and explained (diagnosis & repair process)

Below we list each common TV fault individually, explain typical causes, and exactly how GossTech diagnoses and repairs them. This section is intentionally thorough — it’s designed both for SEO depth and for customers who want to understand the repair process.

1. TV won’t power on (no lights, no sound, no display)

Typical causes: Failed power supply board, blown fuse, faulty main board, broken power button, faulty capacitor, or internal short.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Verify mains and power outlet (we test with a known-good appliance).
2. Inspect external power cord and plug.
3. Open the TV (workshop) and measure voltages at the power board using calibrated meters.
4. Visual inspection for swollen/bulging capacitors/charred components.
5. Check standby power rail and fuse continuity.

Repair steps:

• Replace blown fuses and replace faulty capacitors or diodes on the power board.
• Replace defective power supply board (original or high-quality compatible).
• Repair loose power switch or replace main board if required.
• Run burn-in and safety checks before returning the TV.

Turnaround: Most PSU repairs are completed within 24–72 hours depending on part availability.

2. TV has power (indicator light) but no picture (black screen)

Typical causes: Backlight failure (LED strips), T-Con board failure, mainboard or video processing IC fault, loose LVDS cable.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Shine a torch at the screen while TV is on to see if a faint picture exists (identifies backlight loss).
2. Check LED backlight circuits and measure LED string voltages.
3. Inspect T-Con board and LVDS cable connections between mainboard and panel.
4. Swap T-Con board where possible for testing.

Repair steps:

• Replace LED backlight strips or LED driver board.
• Replace/repair T-Con board.
• Re-seat or replace LVDS cable.
• Replace main board if video processing chip is faulty.

3. TV shows picture but no sound

Typical causes: Faulty audio amplifier IC, muted or incorrect audio settings, bad speakers, or defective mainboard.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Verify TV audio settings and external audio devices.
2. Test audio output (headphone or optical) and internal speaker signals with multimeter/audio injector.
3. Isolate speaker faults by connecting external speakers.
4. Inspect audio amplifier circuitry on the mainboard.

Repair steps:

• Replace or repair audio amplifier IC or related components.
• Replace faulty speakers.
• Update firmware (for smart TV audio bugs) or replace mainboard.

4. TV turns on and off randomly (power cycling)

Typical causes: Overheating, failing power supply components, faulty capacitors, bad solder joints, or firmware issues.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Run thermal checks and stress tests to reproduce the fault.
2. Inspect capacitors, solder joints, and cooling pathways.
3. Check firmware and system logs if smart TV.

Repair steps:

• Replace failing capacitors and power components.
• Reflow or re-solder cold joints on boards.
• Update or reflash firmware where relevant.

5. Lines on screen (horizontal or vertical)

Typical causes: Faulty T-Con board, damaged ribbon/LVDS cable, or panel defects.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Inspect and reseat LVDS/T-Con connections.
2. Swap T-Con board or LVDS cable in workshop to isolate the fault.
3. Confirm whether defects are panel-internal (may require panel replacement).

Repair steps:

• Replace T-Con board or LVDS cable.
• Panel replacement if the display panel itself has failed (quoted separately).

6. Colour issues — wrong colours, faded colours, or tints

Typical causes: T-Con/mainboard processing faults, bad capacitors, color IC failure, or calibration drift.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Run color test patterns and check video input sources.
2. Swap inputs to rule out source issues.
3. Check mainboard and T-Con for component failures.

Repair steps:

• Repair or replace defective components on mainboard or T-Con.
• Panel-level calibration and firmware updates.

7. Flickering or intermittent image

Typical causes: Faulty backlight inverter/LED driver, loose internal connectors, or failing power rail.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Reproduce flicker under different conditions (input type, brightness).
2. Check LED driver/power supply voltages.
3. Inspect connectors and flex cables.

Repair steps:

• Replace LED driver/inverter modules.
• Re-seat or replace connectors/flex cables.
• Replace power supply if voltage instability found.

8. TV apps not working / Smart TV software problems

Typical causes: Outdated firmware, corrupted OS, network issues, or failed flash memory.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Test network connectivity and router settings.
2. Check system logs and available storage.
3. Attempt firmware updates or factory reset.

Repair steps:

• Reflash or update firmware with manufacturer images.
• Replace internal storage (flash) or mainboard where OS corruption is hardware-related.
• Provide setup assistance for app/login problems.

9. Remote control not responding or TV not responding to remote

Typical causes: Dead batteries, faulty IR receiver, or remote hardware failure.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Test remote with battery and smartphone camera (IR LED visible).
2. Test TV’s IR receiver and replace if faulty.
3. Pair Bluetooth remotes for smart TVs if relevant.

Repair steps:

• Replace IR sensor or remote, program remote where needed.
• Provide compatible universal remote if original is unavailable.

10. Sound distortions or buzzing

Typical causes: Defective speakers, amplifier issues, or audio board faults.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Play test tones and listen for distortions.
2. Check speaker cone integrity and audio amplifier outputs.

Repair steps:

• Replace speakers or audio amplifier components.
• Repair PCB traces or connectors.

11. Water or physical damage

Typical causes: Exposure to moisture, spills, or physical impact damaging panel or boards.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Full internal inspection; assess corrosion and shorted components.
2. Test for working sub-systems (power, backlight, logic).

Repair steps:

• Clean corrosion, replace damaged boards or connectors.
• Panel replacement if cracked or physically damaged beyond repair.
• Advise on cost vs replacement; provide transparent quote.

12. Burn-in or image retention (mostly for Plasma / OLED)

Typical causes: Static images displayed for long periods leading to permanent luminance non-uniformity.

How GossTech diagnoses:

1. Run image retention tests and measure difference across pixels.
2. Determine severity and permanence.

Repair steps:

• For mild retention, run pixel-refresh cycles and test patterns.
• Severe burn-in may require panel replacement — we provide honest advice and quote.
