Introduction – TV Repair in Bondo by Refitec

Televisions have become the heartbeat of every home in Bondo, Kisumu, and the surrounding regions. From catching up with breaking news on Citizen TV, enjoying family shows on DStv, to streaming Netflix on Smart TVs, the television has evolved into a central hub of entertainment and information. But what happens when your TV suddenly stops working? A flickering screen, distorted sound, or a dead motherboard can ruin your family movie night.

This is where Refitec TV Repair Services in Bondo and Kisumu comes in. We are professional TV repair experts with years of experience, serving both residential and commercial clients. Whether you own a Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth, Panasonic, Sharp, or Philips TV, we have the expertise and genuine spare parts to restore your entertainment system to perfect condition.

Below, we break down the most common TV problems, their causes, detailed technical explanations, possible solutions, and preventive maintenance tips.

1. TV Power Problems – When the TV Won’t Turn On

One of the most frustrating issues is when you press the power button and nothing happens.

Causes:

• Blown Fuse – Common in areas with unstable electricity supply.
• Faulty Power Supply Board (PSB) – The main culprit when TVs completely fail to power on.
• Capacitor Failure – Electrolytic capacitors inside the TV may bulge or leak.
• Faulty Power IC – Integrated circuits in the PSU may overheat or burn.

Technical Breakdown (Diagram Style Explanation):

Think of the power supply board as the heart of the TV. It converts AC power from the wall into low DC voltages that the motherboard, backlight, and screen require. If this “heart” fails, no other TV component can function.

• Wall Power (AC) → PSU → Low Voltage DC → Mainboard, T-con, Backlight

If the PSU is faulty, the entire system shuts down.

Solutions:

• Fuse replacement
• Capacitor replacement with high-quality, heat-resistant capacitors
• Power board replacement (genuine spare parts available at Refitec)
• Re-soldering cracked joints

Maintenance Tips:

• Use a surge protector to protect your TV from power surges.
• Avoid leaving your TV plugged in during thunderstorms (common in Bondo).

2. Broken or Cracked TV Screen

Nothing is more heartbreaking than a broken TV screen after a fall or impact.

Causes:

• Physical impact (kids playing, accidental falls, or while moving the TV).
• Internal panel failure due to manufacturing defects.

Technical Breakdown:

The LCD/LED panel is made of multiple delicate layers – polarizers, liquid crystals, and LED backlights. Once cracked, these layers cannot be repaired – the entire panel must be replaced.

• Glass → Liquid Crystals → TFT Matrix → Backlight

If the panel is broken, the liquid crystal alignment is lost permanently.

Solutions:

• Panel replacement with genuine brand-specific spare parts.
• For Smart TVs, we install high-definition replacement panels (Full HD, 4K, or OLED).

Maintenance Tips:

• Always wall-mount your TV securely.
• Keep the TV out of high-traffic areas to prevent accidental knocks.

3. No Display but Sound Works

This is a very common complaint in Samsung, LG, Hisense, and TCL TVs.

Causes:

• Faulty backlight inverter board.
• Burnt LED strips behind the panel.
• Defective T-Con board (timing controller).

Technical Breakdown:

Your TV’s backlight acts like the sun, illuminating the pixels. Without backlight, the pixels are still working (sound is fine, channels change), but the screen stays dark.

• Motherboard → T-Con Board → LED Driver → LED Strips → Light Output

If the LED driver fails, the TV produces sound but no visible picture.

Solutions:

• Replace LED strips.
• Repair or replace the T-Con board.
• Adjust backlight driver circuits.

Maintenance Tips:

• Lower your TV’s backlight settings to prolong LED lifespan.
• Avoid overheating by keeping the TV ventilated.

4. TV Has Sound but No Picture (Black Screen)

Sometimes the TV turns on, you hear sound, but the screen is black or faint.

Causes:

• Burnt inverter board.
• Damaged main video processor IC.
• Corrupted firmware.

Solutions:

• T-Con board replacement.
• Reflashing or updating firmware.
• Replacing faulty video processor chips.

Maintenance Tip:

Regularly update your Smart TV software to prevent firmware-related crashes.

5. TV Has Picture but No Sound

This is common in LG and Sony TVs.

Causes:

• Faulty audio IC.
• Broken speaker cone.
• Corrupted firmware affecting sound output.

Solutions:

• Replace TV speakers.
• Replace audio IC chip.
• Firmware upgrade.

Maintenance Tip:

Connect TVs to external speakers or soundbars to reduce stress on built-in speakers.

6. TV Keeps Turning On and Off (Boot Loop Issue)

Causes:

• Faulty power capacitors.
• Corrupted firmware.
• Overheating mainboard.

Solutions:

• Replace capacitors.
• Reflash firmware.
• Add heatsinks or replace thermal paste.

Maintenance Tip:

Do not block TV ventilation holes.

7. Distorted Images, Lines, or Color Problems

Causes:

• T-Con board issues.
• Loose LVDS cable between mainboard and screen.
• Failing display panel.

Solutions:

• Secure LVDS cable.
• Replace T-Con board.
• Panel replacement if damage is severe.

8. Remote Control and Sensor Issues

Sometimes the TV itself is fine but refuses to respond to remote commands.

Causes:

• Faulty IR sensor.
• Remote battery leakage.
• Sensor blocked by dust or objects.

Solutions:

• Replace IR receiver module.
• Clean sensor area.
• Provide universal remotes (available at Refitec).

9. Smart TV Wi-Fi & App Issues

In the modern era of streaming, Smart TVs face software problems.

Causes:

• Outdated firmware.
• Corrupted apps.
• Faulty Wi-Fi module.

Solutions:

• Reflash firmware.
• Replace Wi-Fi board.
• Reset Smart TV to factory defaults.
