How GossTech diagnoses Toshiba TVs — our step-by-step process
- Initial triage & history: When you call, we record the model, serial number, fault description, and any previous repairs. This helps identify common model-specific issues.
- On-site quick checks (if technician visit): Power test, LED indicators, remote test, basic connections (HDMI/antenna). If repair is minor we may fix onsite.
- Workshop diagnostics (for complex faults):
- Visual inspection for burn marks, bulging capacitors, cracked components.
- Multimeter testing of the power supply (standby voltages, fuses).
- Check mainboard outputs, T-Con signals and LED backlight voltages.
- Connect to test bench and run diagnostic firmware where available.
- Run burn-in tests to ensure the fault is resolved.
- Estimate & consent: We provide a written estimate including parts, labour and warranty. No work is done without your approval.
- Repair & quality check: We replace faulty boards/components, reflow solder joints, update firmware, and perform full system testing.
- Final testing & handover: We run the TV for a minimum recommended test period, verify audio/video, smart functions and connectivity, then return with details of work done and warranty.

LED backlight strips / inverter | Dark screen, dim image, flicker |
LVDS ribbon cables | Intermittent picture issues, no display |
Speakers | No sound, distorted audio |

Pricing expectations & warranty
- Diagnostics: We provide a clear diagnostics fee which may be waived if you proceed with repair.
- Repair cost: Depends on the faulty component — simple repairs (fuse, capacitor, connector) are low cost, board replacements or panel replacements cost more. We give written estimates before starting repairs.
- Warranty: Repairs come with a labour and parts warranty (duration depends on part). We include warranty details on every invoice.
(Note: exact prices vary by model and part availability. We avoid quoting fixed prices online because TVs vary widely.)
Preventive tips to extend your Toshiba TV’s life
- Use a surge protector or voltage stabilizer to protect the power supply.
- Keep the TV in a well-ventilated area to avoid overheating.
- Clean vents periodically to remove dust.
- Avoid excessive brightness/contrast settings that stress the backlight.
- For smart TVs, keep firmware updated and avoid installing unknown apps.
- Don’t attempt to open the TV yourself — high voltages in the power board can be dangerous.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q: How long will a repair take?
A: Simple repairs can be same-day; complex board or panel replacements may take a few days depending on parts availability. We provide an estimated turnaround with the written quote.
Q: Do you use genuine Toshiba parts?
A: Where available we source genuine parts; otherwise we use high-quality OEM equivalents and disclose this in the estimate.
Q: Is panel replacement worth it?
A: Panels are often the most expensive single component. For older or smaller TVs, replacement may exceed the cost of a new TV. We provide honest advice and options.
Q: Do you offer on-site repairs?
A: Yes — for many faults we can repair onsite in Nairobi. For complex electrical board work we may take the TV to our workshop.
