Common TV Problems and Their Solutions
Below, we explore the most frequent TV problems our customers along Argwings Kodhek Road experience, with detailed technical explanations, repair approaches, and maintenance tips.
1. TV Not Powering On
Problem:
A common issue where the TV fails to turn on, either showing no lights or blinking indicators.
Technical Causes:
- Blown power supply board capacitors
- Faulty voltage regulator ICs
- Burnt fuses or MOSFETs
- Loose or faulty power cables
- Short-circuit caused by power surges common in Nairobi estates
Solution:
At Refitec, we begin by testing the AC input stage, followed by checking the rectifier diodes, main filter capacitors, and standby circuit. If the power supply is dead, we replace faulty capacitors or the entire board. We stock genuine Samsung, LG, and Sony power boards for fast replacement.
Maintenance Tip:
Always use a voltage stabilizer or surge protector. Argwings Kodhek Road often experiences unstable power supply due to high commercial activity in Kilimani and Hurlingham.
2. No Display but Sound Works
Problem:
The TV turns on and audio plays, but the screen is black.
Technical Causes:
- Faulty LED backlight strips
- Burnt backlight inverter board
- Failed T-CON (Timing Control) board
- Loose LVDS cables between mainboard and panel
Solution:
Our technicians shine a flashlight on the screen to check for faint images (classic sign of backlight failure). We then replace defective LED strips or T-CON boards. For brands like LG OLED and Samsung QLED, we use factory-grade replacement panels and components.
Maintenance Tip:
Avoid using the TV at maximum brightness settings, as this reduces backlight lifespan.
3. Cracked or Damaged TV Screen
Problem:
Accidental impact or falls often leave the TV screen cracked, showing distorted images or total blackout.
Technical Causes:
- Physical damage to the LCD/OLED glass layer
- Damage to the polarizer or diffusion layers
- Broken panel connectors
Solution:
We replace the entire TV panel assembly, sourcing genuine replacements for Samsung, LG, Sony, and TCL models. Unlike unauthorized shops, Refitec ensures the replacement is brand-compatible to restore original resolution and brightness.
Maintenance Tip:
Mount TVs securely on walls, especially in apartments along Wood Avenue, Rose Avenue, and Valley Arcade where space is limited.
4. TV Turns On then Off Immediately (Boot Loop)
Problem:
The TV powers on but shuts off in seconds, sometimes repeating endlessly.
Technical Causes:
- Corrupt firmware/software
- Overheating mainboard ICs
- Faulty EEPROM or NAND flash memory
- Short circuits in the backlight inverter
Solution:
We re-flash the firmware using specialized tools or replace faulty EEPROM chips. If overheating is detected, we improve heat dissipation by replacing thermal paste and heatsinks.
Maintenance Tip:
Ensure TVs have good ventilation, especially in compact apartments along Kindaruma Road and Dennis Pritt Road.
5. Distorted or No Sound
Problem:
The picture works perfectly, but sound is missing or distorted.
Technical Causes:
- Faulty audio ICs on the mainboard
- Damaged speakers
- Issues with the HDMI/AV sound channel
- Muted settings or firmware bugs
Solution:
We test audio ICs using an oscilloscope and replace faulty components. If the built-in speakers are damaged, we stock replacements for LG, Sony, and Samsung models. Firmware updates also resolve some sound issues.
Maintenance Tip:
Use an external sound system or soundbar to reduce strain on inbuilt TV speakers.
6. Lines on Screen (Vertical or Horizontal)
Problem:
Visible lines disrupt the display, sometimes spreading over time.
Technical Causes:
- Faulty T-CON board
- Damaged COF (Chip-on-Film) bonding in the panel
- Loose ribbon cables
Solution:
We reseat LVDS ribbons, replace faulty T-CON boards, or conduct advanced COF rebonding for high-end models.
Maintenance Tip:
Avoid pressing the screen surface and handle TVs gently during relocation.
7. Remote Control Not Working
Problem:
The TV does not respond to remote commands.
Technical Causes:
- Dead IR sensor on the TV
- Faulty remote control IC
- Blocked signal due to dust or dirt
Solution:
We test and replace TV IR receiver modules and provide replacement remotes compatible with all major TV brands.
Maintenance Tip:
Keep remotes clean and replace batteries regularly.
8. Smart TV Connectivity Problems
Problem:
Smart TVs fail to connect to Wi-Fi, apps crash, or streaming lags.
Technical Causes:
- Outdated firmware/software
- Faulty Wi-Fi module or antenna
- Overloaded system memory
Solution:
We update firmware, replace faulty Wi-Fi modules, and optimize system memory. For Android TVs, we also clear cache partitions.
Maintenance Tip:
Keep your TV’s firmware updated and use wired LAN connections in areas with weak Wi-Fi, such as certain apartments in Hurlingham and Kilimani.
