Yes — Component Level Repair Saves You More Money
If your TV has stopped working, you have two options:
- Replace the entire main board — costly, sometimes unavailable for older models
- Component level repair — fixing only the specific faulty part on the board — typically 60–80% cheaper
At Refitec, we specialize in component level repair at our TV service center, saving you thousands of shillings without compromising your TV’s performance.

Detailed Guide: Component Level Repair vs. Main Board Replacement
What Is Component Level TV Repair?
Component level repair means a technician opens your TV’s main board and identifies the exact failed component — such as a capacitor, resistor, IC chip, transistor, or MOSFET — and replaces only that part.
This is a highly skilled, precision-based process that requires:
- Advanced diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, ESR meters)
- Soldering and desoldering expertise for surface-mount components
- Deep knowledge of TV circuit schematics
Unlike simply swapping out the whole board, component repair addresses the root cause of the fault.
What Is Main Board Replacement?
Main board replacement involves sourcing and fitting a brand-new or second-hand main board for your specific TV model. While this can fix the TV quickly, it comes with significant downsides:
- High cost — boards range from KSh 6,000 to KSh 25,000+
- Availability issues — older or uncommon models may have no boards in stock
- No guarantee — a used replacement board may carry hidden faults
- Environmental waste — the old board is discarded even if only one part is faulty
Step-by-Step: How Refitec Diagnoses and Repairs Your TV
Step 1 — Free Diagnosis
Bring your TV to our service center or call us to arrange collection. Our technician performs a full diagnostic check at no charge before any work begins.
Step 2 — Fault Identification
Using professional equipment, we trace the fault to its exact source on the circuit board — down to the specific component level.
Step 3 — Transparent Quote
You receive a clear written quote showing the cost of the component repair vs. what a full board replacement would cost — so you can make an informed decision.
Step 4 — Precision Repair
Our technicians replace only the faulty component using high-quality parts. All soldering is done with industry-standard equipment for reliability and longevity.
Step 5 — Full Testing
Your TV is thoroughly tested across all functions — picture, sound, inputs, smart features — before it is returned to you.
Step 6 — Warranty & Handover
Every repair comes with a warranty period for peace of mind. We walk you through what was repaired and how to prevent recurrence.
Cost Comparison: Component Repair vs. Board Replacement
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost (KSh) | Turnaround Time |
|---|---|---|
| Component Level Repair | 1,500 – 6,000 | 24 – 48 hours |
| Main Board Replacement | 8,000 – 25,000+ | 3 – 7 days (sourcing time) |
| Buying a New TV | 25,000 – 80,000+ | Immediate |
Component level repair is the smartest financial choice for any TV that is less than 10 years old or holds sentimental or practical value.
