Common TV Problems and Professional Solutions by Refitec

Below we explore the most common TV problems in Kisumu homes, their technical causes, possible solutions, and maintenance tips.

1. TV Not Powering On

One of the most frequent TV issues is a set that completely refuses to turn on.

🔧 Causes:

• Faulty Power Supply Board: The capacitors, resistors, or diodes on the power board may have burnt out.
• Damaged Power Cord: Loose or frayed cords prevent current flow.
• Mainboard Failure: The logic circuit may not be passing power from the supply to the TV’s processor.
• Blown Fuse: A surge from Kisumu’s frequent power fluctuations can blow the fuse.

🛠️ Solutions:

• We test the power cord with a multimeter and replace it if faulty.
• If the power board has swollen capacitors or burnt ICs, we replace them.
• Where the mainboard is damaged, Refitec technicians either repair or replace it with genuine parts.
• We install surge protectors to prevent future damage from Kisumu’s unstable power supply.

💡 Maintenance Tip:

Always connect your TV to a voltage regulator or UPS system to guard against power spikes along Kibos Road, Oginga Odinga Street, Nairobi Road, and Obote Road, where blackouts are frequent.

2. No Picture but Sound is Working

This problem frustrates many homeowners – the TV turns on, you hear sound, but the screen remains black.

🔧 Causes:

• Backlight Failure: In LED TVs, the backlight strips burn out.
• Inverter Board Damage: In LCD TVs, the inverter board powering the backlight fails.
• T-Con Board Failure: The Timing Control board that sends signals from the motherboard to the display panel is damaged.
• Loose LVDS Cable: A disconnected cable between the mainboard and display.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Our team inspects the backlight strips and replaces them with original spares for Samsung, LG, Hisense, and TCL models.
• If the T-Con board is faulty, we replace it with the exact matching board.
• We reseat or replace LVDS cables.

💡 Maintenance Tip:

Lower the brightness settings on your TV to extend backlight lifespan. Avoid running your TV for 24 hours continuously, especially in households around Manyatta, Bandani, and Nyalenda, where power supply is unstable.

3. Lines on TV Screen

Horizontal or vertical lines across the screen can ruin your viewing experience.

🔧 Causes:

• Damaged T-Con Board: Poor signal transfer to the screen.
• Loose Ribbon Cables: Flex cables connecting the display to the mainboard can detach.
• Screen Damage: Impact from physical force or water intrusion.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Tightening or replacing ribbon cables.
• Installing a new T-Con board.
• If the panel is cracked, we replace the entire screen panel with original parts available at Refitec.

💡 Maintenance Tip:

Never press your TV screen while cleaning. Use a microfiber cloth with a gentle cleaner. In estates like Milimani, Lolwe, Tom Mboya Estate, Migosi, and Polyview, dust accumulation is common – wipe your TV regularly.

4. No Sound but Picture is Visible

Sometimes the TV shows a clear image, but no sound comes out.

🔧 Causes:

• Speaker Damage: Blown internal speakers due to overloading.
• Audio IC Fault: The sound processor on the mainboard is fried.
• Firmware Issues: Software glitches in Smart TVs.
• Wrong Audio Settings: Muted output or wrong audio channel selected.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Replace or repair internal speakers.
• Fix or replace the Audio IC chip.
• Update the TV’s firmware/software.
• Reset sound settings to default mode.

💡 Maintenance Tip:

Avoid connecting your TV directly to high-powered external sound systems without proper amplifiers. In areas like Kondele, Kanyakwar, and Mamboleo, where home parties are frequent, loud volume often blows speakers.

5. TV Screen Flickering

Screen flicker can make watching unbearable.

🔧 Causes:

• Faulty Backlight Driver: Uneven voltage supply to LEDs.
• Mainboard Glitch: Software or processing fault.
• Loose Cables: HDMI or ribbon cable instability.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Replace backlight driver board.
• Perform software reset or update.
• Replace faulty HDMI cables.

💡 Maintenance Tip:

Use high-quality HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cables, especially for Smart TVs streaming in 4K.

6. Remote Control Not Working

🔧 Causes:

• Dead batteries.
• Blocked infrared sensor.
• Remote control damage.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Replace batteries.
• Clean infrared receiver.
• Supply new original remotes (Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, etc.).

7. TV Overheating

TVs in Kisumu, especially in hot areas like Otonglo, Riat Hills, and Nyamasaria, often overheat.

🔧 Causes:

• Blocked ventilation grills.
• Faulty cooling fans (in larger TVs).
• Overuse in hot environments.

🛠️ Solutions:

• Clean air vents.
• Replace cooling fans.
• Advise installation in well-ventilated rooms.
