How Refitec Diagnoses Television Faults
At Refitec, we employ a systematic, professional approach to television fault diagnosis, ensuring accurate identification of problems and cost-effective solutions. Our diagnostic process combines technical expertise with advanced testing equipment.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Our technician begins with a detailed consultation to understand the symptoms you’ve observed, when the problem started, and any recent events that might have triggered the issue such as power surges or physical impact.
Step 2: Visual Inspection
We conduct a thorough physical examination of the television, checking for obvious signs of damage, loose connections, burnt components, or physical defects. This includes inspecting the power cable, ports, and external condition.
Step 3: Power Supply Testing
Using specialized multimeters and testing equipment, we verify that the power supply board is delivering correct voltages to all TV components. Power supply failures are among the most common TV problems.
Step 4: Component-Level Diagnosis
Our technicians systematically test individual components including:
- Main board functionality
- T-Con board signals
- Backlight inverter operation
- Display panel condition
- Audio amplifier circuits
- Tuner performance
Step 5: Software and Firmware Analysis
For Smart TVs, we check software versions, identify corrupted files, test app functionality, and verify internet connectivity settings.
Step 6: Signal Path Testing
We trace signal flow from input sources through processing boards to the display and speakers, identifying where signal degradation or failure occurs.
Step 7: Comprehensive Reporting
After diagnosis, we provide you with a clear explanation of the problem, repair options, cost estimate, and expected completion time. We never proceed with repairs without your approval.
Our Diagnostic Tools and Equipment:
- Digital multimeters for voltage and continuity testing
- Oscilloscopes for signal analysis

Tips to Prevent Television Problems
Prevention is always better than cure. Following these expert tips from Refitec technicians can significantly extend your television’s lifespan and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.
Power Protection
Use a Surge Protector: Kenya experiences frequent power fluctuations that can damage sensitive TV components. Always connect your television through a quality surge protector or voltage stabilizer.
Unplug During Storms: Lightning strikes and severe electrical storms can send powerful surges through power lines. Unplug your TV during severe weather, especially in Langata and areas prone to lightning.
Avoid Power Strips Overloading: Don’t connect too many devices to one power strip. Give your TV its own surge protector separate from other high-power appliances.
Gradual Power-Up: After a power outage, wait 5-10 minutes before turning on your TV to allow electrical systems to stabilize.
Proper Ventilation and Placement
Maintain Adequate Spacing: Leave at least 4-6 inches of space around your TV for proper air circulation. Modern TVs generate significant heat that needs to escape.
Avoid Enclosed Cabinets: Don’t place your TV in tight, enclosed entertainment centers without ventilation. This traps heat and shortens component life.
Keep Away from Heat Sources: Position your TV away from radiators, heaters, direct sunlight, and other heat sources that can damage internal components.
Dust Regularly: Dust accumulation blocks ventilation holes and causes overheating. Gently dust your TV weekly with a microfiber cloth.
Screen Care
Use Proper Cleaning Methods: Clean your TV screen only with microfiber cloths designed for electronics. Never use paper towels, regular cloths, or harsh chemicals.
Avoid Liquid Cleaners: Don’t spray anything directly on the screen. If needed, slightly dampen a cloth with distilled water only.
Gentle Touch: Don’t press hard on the screen or use abrasive materials. Modern LED and OLED screens are delicate.
Protect from Impact: Keep your TV away from areas where it might be bumped, hit by balls, or knocked over by children or pets.

Contact Refitec immediately if you notice:
- Burning smell from TV
