How Refitec Diagnoses Your TV
We don’t just plug it in and guess. Here’s our process:
- Visual inspection — We check for physical damage, burn marks, and swollen capacitors.
- Power-on test — We confirm what the TV does (or doesn’t do) when switched on.
- Board-level testing — Using multimeters and oscilloscopes, we test voltage across key components.
- Component identification — We identify exactly which IC, capacitor, transistor, or module has failed.
- Fault report — We tell you what’s wrong and give you a repair quote before touching anything.
The diagnosis fee is Ksh 1,000, which goes toward the repair cost if you proceed.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few habits go a long way in keeping your TV healthy.
- Use a surge protector — Power surges are common in Kisumu. A good surge protector saves your TV’s power board.
- Ensure ventilation — Don’t box your TV into a tight space. Overheating kills capacitors fast.
- Avoid direct sunlight — UV damages screens over time and causes discolouration.
- Turn it off properly — Always use the remote or button to shut down, not just pulling the plug.
- Clean the vents — Dust buildup causes overheating. Gently clean the back vents every few months.
- Don’t ignore warning signs — Flickering, colour changes, or strange sounds usually get worse if ignored. Catch it early.
- Use quality HDMI cables — Cheap cables damage HDMI ports over time.
- Avoid moisture near the TV — Especially in open-plan rooms close to the kitchen or bathroom.
