How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we test properly. Here’s our process:
- Visual inspection — We check for physical damage, burnt components, and loose connections.
- Power supply test — We measure voltage rails to isolate the faulty board.
- Board-level testing — We test the mainboard, T-CON, backlight inverter, and power board individually.
- Component testing — Capacitors, diodes, transistors and ICs are checked with a multimeter and oscilloscope.
- Software check — For smart TVs, we diagnose firmware corruption and software faults.
- Final diagnosis report — We tell you exactly what’s wrong and the cost to fix it before we touch anything.
Diagnosis fee: Ksh 1,000 — this is deducted from your final repair bill.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few habits go a long way in keeping your TV healthy:
- Use a surge protector — Power surges from Kenya Power are a top cause of TV damage. Always use a good surge protector.
- Don’t cover ventilation slots — TVs need airflow. Blocking vents causes overheating.
- Avoid dusty environments — Dust clogs internal boards and causes shorts. Clean around your TV regularly.
- Don’t leave it on standby overnight repeatedly — This wears out the power board over time.
- Handle remotes gently — A dropped remote can damage the IR sensor inside the TV.
- Keep TVs away from damp areas — Moisture is an enemy of electronics.
- Use genuine cables — Cheap HDMI and power cables can damage ports and boards.
- Act early — If your TV starts flickering or behaving oddly, call a technician before it gets worse and more expensive.
