Common TV Problems and Their Solutions

1. TV Screen Problems (Cracked, Flickering, or Black Screen)

One of the most common issues we handle is screen damage or display malfunction.

  • Causes: Physical impact, overheating of LCD/LED panels, faulty T-Con board, loose ribbon connections, or power surges.
  • Technical Explanation:
    TVs have a T-Con (Timing Control) board that regulates signals between the motherboard and display panel. If it fails, pixels won’t refresh correctly, causing flickering or lines. A cracked screen usually requires panel replacement because modern TVs integrate LED/LCD layers with touch-sensitive backlighting.
  • Solution:
    At Refitec, we replace damaged screens with genuine OEM panels (Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth, etc.). For flickering, we repair the T-Con board, reflow soldering points, and test voltage pathways.
  • Maintenance Tip: Always connect your TV to a surge protector to prevent voltage spikes from damaging the screen circuits.

2. TV Power Problems (Not Turning On, Red Light Blinking)

Many clients along Galana Road call us when their TVs fail to power on.

  • Causes: Blown capacitors in the power supply board, faulty inverter board, damaged power ICs, or a short circuit caused by poor wiring.
  • Technical Explanation:
    TVs convert AC power to DC voltage through the power board. If capacitors bulge due to overheating, current flow becomes unstable. Some TVs also enter “protection mode” when internal circuits detect shorting.
  • Solution:
    Our technicians diagnose using a multimeter, replace faulty capacitors, repair burnt fuses, and restore regulated voltage supply.
  • Maintenance Tip: Do not leave your TV plugged in during lightning storms. Unplugging reduces capacitor stress and prolongs lifespan.

3. Sound Problems (No Sound or Distorted Audio)

  • Causes: Blown audio IC, damaged speaker cones, corrupted software drivers, or loose internal connections.
  • Technical Explanation:
    Modern TVs use Class D amplifiers that drive speakers efficiently. When IC chips fail, output becomes distorted. HDMI-ARC and optical ports may also fail to transmit audio signals due to firmware issues.
  • Solution:
    We replace damaged speakers, audio ICs, and reprogram firmware. For clients who use soundbars, we troubleshoot HDMI/optical ports.
  • Maintenance Tip: Avoid playing sound at maximum volume for extended periods—it stresses both the amplifier and speaker membranes.

4. HDMI and Connectivity Problems

  • Causes: Frequent plugging/unplugging, bent HDMI pins, faulty input ports, or damaged mainboard circuits.
  • Technical Explanation:
    HDMI ports handle high-bandwidth digital signals. Any bent pin disrupts audio-visual sync. A failed HDMI controller chip can disable all ports at once.
  • Solution:
    At Refitec, we replace HDMI ports, re-solder damaged joints, and replace controller ICs. We also update firmware for TVs that experience handshake issues with decoders and gaming consoles.
  • Maintenance Tip: Use quality HDMI cables and avoid forceful plugging.

5. Remote Control & Sensor Issues

  • Causes: Faulty IR sensor on TV, damaged remote motherboard, or software not responding to commands.
  • Solution:
    We test the infrared sensor, replace faulty remotes, or reprogram TVs stuck in command loops.

6. TV Software Problems (Smart TV Apps Not Working)

  • Causes: Outdated firmware, corrupted storage chips, or malware from unauthorized apps.
  • Technical Explanation:
    Smart TVs use Linux-based OS with flash memory. When storage sectors fail, apps like Netflix or YouTube crash.
  • Solution:
    We perform firmware upgrades, re-flash eMMC chips, and restore factory settings.
  • Maintenance Tip: Connect TVs to stable WiFi and update software regularly.

7. Motherboard Failure

  • Causes: Power surges, overheating, liquid spills, or manufacturer defects.
  • Technical Explanation:
    The mainboard manages HDMI, USB, audio, and video processing. When it fails, the TV becomes unresponsive or displays distorted images.
  • Solution:
    We replace faulty mainboards or repair specific IC components (GPU, processor, EEPROM chips).
