⚡ Common TV Problems and Solutions

1. TV Not Powering On

One of the most common TV issues is when your television fails to turn on.

Possible Causes:

• Faulty power supply board (capacitors, transformers, or MOSFET failure)
• Blown fuse or surge damage
• Defective mainboard not passing startup signals
• Loose or damaged power cables
• Backlight driver short-circuit in LED TVs

Technical Explanation:
A TV power supply works like the heart of the system. AC power from your socket passes through a rectifier circuit, converting it into DC voltage for different TV components. If capacitors are swollen, voltage regulation fails, leading to a “dead TV.”

Solution by Refitec:

• We test the fuse, capacitors, transistors, and ICs using a multimeter and oscilloscope.
• Faulty capacitors are replaced with genuine high-voltage electrolytic capacitors.
• If the entire power board is damaged, we replace it with OEM spare parts.

Maintenance Tip: Use a voltage regulator or surge protector to shield your TV from power spikes common in Nairobi estates.

2. TV Has Sound But No Picture

This is another frustrating issue where you can hear sound but the screen is blank.

Causes:

• Burnt or dead backlight LEDs
• Faulty T-Con board (timing control)
• Loose LVDS ribbon cable from motherboard to panel
• Malfunctioning inverter in older LCD models

Technical Breakdown:
LED TVs use LED strips behind the screen to illuminate the display. When one LED burns out, the whole strip goes dark. The T-Con board processes image data from the motherboard and synchronizes pixels. A defective T-Con means no visible image.

Solution:

• We test the LED strips individually using a LED tester.
• Replace damaged strips with high-quality LED backlight kits.
• Repair or replace the T-Con board where necessary.
• Re-seat or replace LVDS ribbon cables.

Maintenance Tip: Avoid running your TV at maximum brightness settings for long hours. Lowering brightness extends backlight lifespan.

3. Cracked or Broken Screen

Screen damage is one of the most expensive TV repairs.

Causes:

• Physical impact (kids, pets, accidental falls)
• Pressure damage while cleaning
• Thermal expansion leading to glass cracks

Technical Detail:
Modern TVs use thin glass LCD or OLED panels with millions of pixels. Once cracked, light diffusion and liquid crystal alignment are disrupted, causing black spots, lines, or complete blackout.

Solution by Refitec:

• Replace the entire LCD/OLED panel (panel repair is impossible).
• We stock original TV screens for major brands in Nairobi.

Maintenance Tip: Always place your TV on a stable wall mount or stand away from traffic paths inside the house.

4. Horizontal or Vertical Lines on Screen

Lines across the display are a common signal processing problem.

Causes:

• Faulty T-Con board or driver ICs
• Loose or damaged ribbon cables
• Burnt pixels on the panel
• Software corruption in Smart TVs

Technical Breakdown:
The T-Con board uses gamma ICs to control voltage across rows and columns of pixels. A damaged IC sends faulty signals, leading to colored lines.

Solution:

• We reflow or replace gamma IC chips.
• Replace damaged LVDS or COF (chip-on-film) cables.
• Perform firmware updates on Smart TVs.

Maintenance Tip: Switch off your TV properly instead of cutting power at the socket. This prevents firmware corruption.

5. TV Turns On Then Off Immediately (Power Cycling)

This “boot loop” problem is quite common in Samsung, LG, and Hisense TVs.

Causes:

• Faulty power board delivering unstable voltages
• Short circuit in backlight LEDs
• Corrupted firmware
• Overheating of mainboard

Solution:

• Replace faulty backlight strips
• Flash or reinstall TV firmware
• Replace defective power ICs or entire mainboard

Maintenance Tip: Ensure your TV has proper ventilation. Never block air vents to avoid overheating.

6. No Sound or Distorted Sound

Sometimes your TV shows a clear picture but no audio.

Causes:

• Blown audio IC (amplifier)
• Damaged speakers
• Corrupted sound driver in Smart TVs
• Loose AV/HDMI ports

Solution:

• Replace damaged speakers with original brand speakers
• Repair or replace audio amplifier ICs
• Update or reinstall sound firmware
• Re-solder HDMI/AV ports

Maintenance Tip: Use external speakers or soundbars at moderate levels instead of maxing out TV volume.

7. Smart TV Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

Smart TVs often fail to connect to wireless networks.

Causes:

• Faulty Wi-Fi module
• Software glitches
• Router incompatibility
• Damaged antenna cable

Solution:

• Replace defective Wi-Fi modules
• Update TV firmware
• Reset network settings
• Use wired LAN connection as backup
