How Refitec Diagnoses Television Faults
Getting an accurate diagnosis is the most important step, since it determines whether your TV is worth repairing and how much it will cost. Our process generally follows these steps:
- Visual and physical inspection – checking the screen, ports, casing, and remote for obvious damage.
- Power supply testing – using a multimeter to check voltage output and identify dead components.
- Board inspection – looking at the motherboard and power board for swollen or leaking capacitors, burnt resistors, or loose connections.
- Software diagnostics – for smart TVs, checking firmware version, factory resetting if needed, and testing app performance.
- Component-level testing – isolating faults to specific parts like the T-con board, backlight strips, or audio circuit.
This usually takes 20-40 minutes depending on the complexity of the fault.
Diagnosis fee: KSh 1,000 – this fee is deducted from your final repair cost if you decide to proceed with the repair.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few simple habits can save you from costly repairs down the line:
- Use a surge protector – Power surges, common during stormy weather, are one of the leading causes of board damage.
- Avoid blocking ventilation – TVs need airflow to stay cool; don’t place items against the back vents.
- Don’t leave it on standby for too long – Occasionally switch off fully at the mains, especially overnight.
- Clean dust regularly – Dust buildup inside the TV causes overheating, which damages components over time.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources – Excessive heat shortens the lifespan of internal parts.
- Unplug during long power outages – Sudden power restoration can cause voltage spikes that damage your TV.
