How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we test. Here’s our process:
1. Initial Assessment We ask you a few quick questions — when did it start? Any physical damage? What exactly happens when you turn it on?
2. Visual Inspection We open the TV and look for obvious damage — burnt components, swollen capacitors, broken connectors.
3. Component-Level Testing Using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and diagnostic tools, we test the power supply, main board, T-CON board, backlight inverter, and panel.
4. Fault Isolation We narrow down the exact faulty part before quoting you anything. No hidden charges.
5. Transparent Quote We tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it will cost — parts and labour — before we start any repair.
6. Repair & Testing We fix the fault, reassemble the TV, and test it fully before handing it back.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your TV running longer:
1. Ventilation Matters Don’t put your TV inside a tight cabinet with no airflow. TVs generate heat — they need breathing room. Overheating kills boards.
2. Use a Surge Protector Power surges are common in Nairobi, especially after outages. A good surge protector saves your TV’s power board.
3. Switch Off Properly Don’t just pull the plug. Use the remote or the power button to shut down your TV properly, especially smart TVs.
4. Clean the Vents Dust blocks vents and causes overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the back vents every few months.
5. Keep Liquids Away Spilled drinks are a quick way to destroy a TV’s main board. Keep cups and bottles away from the screen and sides.
6. Don’t Leave It on Standby 24/7 If you’re not watching, switch it off fully. Constant standby power wears out components over time.
7. Handle the Remote Gently Dropping remotes and pressing buttons too hard wears out the IR transmitter. A broken remote often gets blamed on the TV.
8. Update Your Smart TV Software Manufacturers push updates that fix bugs and improve performance. Keep your TV’s firmware up to date.
