Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s what keeps your TV running longer:
- Use a surge protector — Power surges from Kenya Power are a leading cause of TV board damage. A good surge protector costs KSh 1,000–2,500 and can save you KSh 10,000+ in repairs.
- Don’t block ventilation — Leave at least 10 cm around your TV. Overheating kills boards silently.
- Avoid direct sunlight — UV light degrades the screen and fades the panel over time.
- Switch it off properly — Don’t just yank the plug. Use the remote or the power button to shut down.
- Clean gently — Use a dry microfiber cloth. Never spray liquid directly on the screen.
- Don’t ignore small faults — A slight flicker or an occasional black screen often becomes a full failure if ignored for weeks.
- Service annually — Dust buildup inside the TV causes overheating. A yearly internal clean costs very little.
