1. TV Screen Repair and Replacement in Lavington

A damaged screen is one of the most common — and most worrying — TV issues.

Causes of TV Screen Damage

a) Physical Impact

• Accidental drops during relocation
• Kids or pets knocking over the TV
• Objects thrown or hitting the screen

b) Internal Failures

• Dead pixels due to manufacturing defects
• Driver IC (integrated circuit) failures
• Overheating damaging internal display layers

c) Environmental Factors

• Excessive humidity causing corrosion
• Direct sunlight warping the display layers

Technical Breakdown of TV Screen Structure

 ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │   Protective Glass/Plastic Layer          │  ← Shields the display
 ├──────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │   Polarizing Film                         │  ← Enhances light control
 ├──────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │   Liquid Crystal / OLED Layer              │  ← Creates the image
 ├──────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │   TFT Array                               │  ← Controls each pixel
 ├──────────────────────────────────────────┤
 │   Backlight Panel                         │  ← Illuminates the image
 └──────────────────────────────────────────┘

When the liquid crystal layer or OLED pixels are damaged, no repair can restore them — replacement is necessary.

Refitec’s Screen Replacement Process

1. Diagnosis: We confirm whether it’s a cracked panel or an electronic signal issue.
2. Spare Part Sourcing: We stock original TV screens for popular brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, TCL, Panasonic, and Skyworth.
3. Disassembly: The damaged screen is removed with anti-static precision tools.
4. Replacement & Calibration: New screen fitted and display settings calibrated for colour accuracy.
5. Final Testing: Checking resolution, refresh rate, and brightness uniformity.

Maintenance Tips for TV Screens

• Avoid touching the screen with fingers — use a microfiber cloth for cleaning.
• Keep the TV away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Mount the TV securely to prevent tipping.
• Use a voltage stabilizer to prevent power surges.

2. TV Backlight Replacement in Lavington

A TV backlight system illuminates your screen from behind, allowing images to be visible. When it fails, the TV might have sound but no picture, or appear very dim.

Causes of Backlight Failure

a) Overuse

• LEDs degrade over time due to heat.

b) Power Surges

• Sudden high voltage burns LED strips.

c) Manufacturing Defects

• Poor-quality LED chips or bad soldering.

d) Heat Damage

• Poor ventilation leading to overheating.

Technical Breakdown of TV Backlight Systems

[ LED TV Backlight Layout ]

[ Types of Backlight ]
  1. Edge-lit LEDs – Lights placed on screen edges.
  2. Direct-lit LEDs – Lights placed directly behind screen.
  3. Full-array LEDs – Even grid of LEDs for better brightness control.

Refitec’s Backlight Repair Process

1. Voltage & LED Testing: We test each LED strip using a current tester.
2. LED Strip Replacement: Faulty LEDs replaced with OEM-spec backlights.
3. Diffuser Reinstallation: Ensuring light spreads evenly without hotspots.
4. Calibration: Adjusting brightness, contrast, and colour balance.

Maintenance Tips for Backlights

• Reduce brightness settings to prolong LED life.
• Turn off the TV when not in use.

• Avoid moisture exposure.
