How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we test. Here’s our process:
- Visual inspection — Check for burnt components, loose cables, or physical damage.
- Power supply test — Measure voltage rails using a multimeter.
- Board-level diagnostics — Test the mainboard, T-con board, and power board separately.
- Backlight test — Confirm whether the panel or backlight strip is the issue.
- Software check — For smart TVs, we check firmware and software faults.
- Final report — We explain the fault clearly and give you a repair quote before touching anything.
Diagnosis costs KSh 1,000. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnosis fee is included in the total.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your TV running longer:
- Use a surge protector — power surges are the #1 cause of TV board damage in Kenya.
- Don’t block ventilation — TVs need airflow. Keep the back and sides clear.
- Dust regularly — dust build-up causes overheating over time.
- Don’t leave it on all night — use the sleep timer if you doze off watching.
- Avoid direct sunlight — UV rays fade screens and heat the cabinet.
- Handle remotes gently — a dropped remote often kills the IR sensor.
- Don’t switch off from the wall abruptly — always use the remote or TV button first.
- Update smart TV firmware — keeps the software stable and secure.
- Don’t run an extension cord under a carpet — it overheats and damages connected devices.
