Common TV Problems Refitec Diagnoses and Repairs
Most TV issues are fixable — you don’t need a new set. Here’s what we deal with every day:
| Problem | What It Means |
|---|---|
| TV won’t power on | Dead power board, blown fuse, or failed capacitors |
| Screen is black but has sound | Backlight failure or T-CON board fault |
| Flickering or blinking screen | Loose ribbon cable or failing panel |
| No sound but picture is fine | Blown speaker or audio IC fault |
| Vertical/horizontal lines on screen | Panel damage or T-CON board issue |
| Remote not working | IR sensor fault or software glitch |
| TV keeps restarting | Power supply instability |
| No signal / “No Input” | Tuner board or HDMI port fault |
| Cracked screen | Panel replacement |
| Smart TV won’t connect to Wi-Fi | Software or Wi-Fi module fault |
How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we test. Here’s our process:
- Visual inspection — We check for burns, swollen capacitors, and physical damage.
- Power test — We measure voltage outputs on the power supply board.
- Board-level testing — Each board (main, power, T-CON, backlight inverter) is tested independently.
- Software check — For smart TVs, we run a system diagnostic to rule out firmware issues.
- Client briefing — We explain what’s wrong and give you a quote before touching anything else.
Diagnosis fee: Ksh 1,000 (deducted from repair cost if you proceed with us).

On-Site and Shop Repair Services
We understand that moving a mounted TV is a hassle. That’s why we offer both options:
On-Site Repair (We Come to You)
- A technician visits your home or office in Kimende and surroundings.
- Great for wall-mounted TVs, large screens, or when you just can’t move the set.
- Minor repairs can be done right there; complex ones may require us to take the unit.
- Travel charges apply based on distance from our workshop.
Workshop / Shop Repair
- Drop your TV at our workshop for a thorough bench diagnosis.
- Faster turnaround for complex repairs.
- Full testing done before handover.
- Secure storage while your unit is being worked on.
Same quality, either way — our technicians are fully trained and carry the right tools and common spare parts for both scenarios.
Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s what keeps your TV healthy:
- Use a surge protector — Power surges are a leading cause of board damage in Kenya.
- Ensure good ventilation — Don’t block the TV’s vents. Heat kills electronics.
- Turn it off properly — Use the remote to shut down, don’t just yank the plug.
- Clean the ports — Dusty HDMI ports cause signal issues. Blow them out occasionally.
- Avoid direct sunlight — UV exposure fades screens and raises internal temperatures.
- Don’t spray cleaners directly on the screen — Use a dry microfibre cloth.
- Service it periodically — If your TV is 5+ years old, a dust clean-out can prevent overheating.
- Handle the remote properly — Many “TV problems” are just dead remote batteries or a blocked IR sensor.
