Overview
A broken TV can disrupt your evenings, especially during football season or your favorite shows. Whether your screen has gone blank, the sound has disappeared, or your smart TV refuses to load apps, Refitec is here to help. We are a trusted TV repair company serving homes and businesses across Kenya, with technicians who understand both older CRT-style sets and the latest 4K smart TVs. Our goal is simple: diagnose the problem quickly, explain it in plain language, and fix it using quality parts at a fair price.
Unlike walk-in shops that sometimes guess at problems, we run a proper diagnostic process before quoting any repair. This saves you money by avoiding unnecessary part replacements and ensures the actual fault is addressed the first time.

Common TV Problems We Diagnose and Repair
Over the years, our technicians have handled thousands of TV faults. Some are simple fixes, while others require component-level repairs. Here are the most common issues we encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| TV won’t power on at all | Faulty power supply board or blown capacitors |
| TV turns on then off (standby blinking) | Power board or backlight circuit fault |
| No picture but sound works | Backlight failure or damaged panel |
| Lines, flickering, or distorted screen | T-con board issue |
| No sound but picture is fine | Speaker damage or faulty audio chip |
| TV randomly switches off | Overheating components or loose connections |
| Smart TV apps freezing or crashing | Outdated firmware or software corruption |
| HDMI/USB ports not detecting devices | Damaged ports or mainboard fault |
| Burning smell or visible smoke | Capacitor failure — stop using immediately |
| Remote control not responding | IR sensor fault or remote battery issue |
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to switch off the TV at the wall and book a diagnosis rather than continuing to use it, as this can sometimes worsen the damage.
How Refitec Diagnoses Television Faults
Diagnosis is the most important step in any repair, and it’s where Refitec stands out. Our process typically includes:
First, a visual inspection of the TV — checking for swollen capacitors, burnt components, loose cables, and physical screen damage. Second, our technicians power up the unit and observe the behavior, listening for clicking sounds, checking for backlight activity, and testing standby lights.
Next, we test the power supply unit using a multimeter to confirm correct voltage output, since most TV faults trace back to power issues. We then check the mainboard and T-con board for signs of failure, and for smart TVs, we examine the software and firmware to rule out app or update-related glitches.
This entire diagnostic process costs KES 1,000, and if you proceed with the repair, this fee is deducted from your final bill. By the end of diagnosis, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong and how much the repair will cost — no surprises.

On-Site and Shop Repair Services
We understand that not everyone can easily transport a large TV, especially 50-inch and above models. That’s why Refitec offers both on-site and in-shop repair options.
For on-site repairs, our technician comes to your home or office with all the necessary tools and a multimeter to diagnose and, where possible, fix the issue right there. This is ideal for power-related faults, loose connections, or quick component replacements.
For shop repairs, you can drop off your TV at our workshop for more detailed work, such as panel replacements, deep board-level repairs, or cases requiring specialized equipment. We handle your unit with care and keep you updated on progress throughout.
Either way, you’ll get the same diagnosis quality and pricing structure.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way in extending your TV’s lifespan and avoiding costly repairs. Always place your TV in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and dust, since heat buildup is one of the leading causes of board failure. Use a good quality surge protector, as power surges and fluctuations — common in many parts of Kenya — can quickly damage sensitive components.
Avoid leaving your TV plugged in during thunderstorms, and switch it off at the wall socket rather than just using the remote when you’ll be away for extended periods. Clean the back panel and vents periodically to prevent dust buildup, which traps heat inside. Lastly, if you notice unusual sounds, smells, or display issues, don’t ignore them — early diagnosis often means a cheaper, faster repair.
