🛠️ Detailed TV Repair Guide — Common Problems Explained
1. TV Won’t Turn On
What’s happening: You press the power button — nothing. No standby light, no sound, complete silence.
Possible causes:
- Blown power supply board
- Faulty capacitors on the power board
- Damaged fuse
- Dead remote or IR sensor (if using remote only)
What Refitec does: Our technician opens the set and performs a board-level diagnosis. We test voltage outputs from the power board and isolate the faulty component. In most cases, capacitor replacement or a power board swap restores the TV completely.
📞 Don’t attempt to open your TV yourself — mains voltage is dangerous. Call us on 0704843613.
2. Black Screen With Sound (Backlight Failure)
What’s happening: You can hear audio perfectly but the screen is completely dark — or very faintly lit when you shine a torch on it.
Possible causes:
- Failed LED backlight strips
- Faulty backlight inverter board
- T-Con board failure
What Refitec does: We test the backlight array using specialised equipment. If the strips are burnt out, we replace them with compatible LED strips. This is one of the most common repairs we handle in Kisumu — and one of the most affordable.
3. Distorted Picture / Wavy Lines / Discolouration
What’s happening: The image looks scrambled, has colour patches, or has horizontal/vertical lines running across the screen.
Possible causes:
- Loose ribbon cable connections
- Faulty T-Con (Timing Controller) board
- Damaged mainboard
- Panel degradation (in older sets)
What Refitec does: We begin by checking and reseating all ribbon cables — a free fix when that’s the culprit. If the T-Con board is at fault, we replace it. We’ll give you an honest assessment if the panel itself is damaged and whether a repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
4. TV Switches Off on Its Own (Random Shutdowns)
What’s happening: Your TV turns itself off randomly — sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after an hour. It may restart, or stay off.
Possible causes:
- Overheating (blocked vents, failing cooling)
- Swollen or failing capacitors
- Auto-shutoff triggered by power fluctuations
- Software fault on smart TVs
What Refitec does: We clean internal dust buildup, test capacitors with an ESR meter, and check thermal performance. We also inspect the power supply for instability. For smart TVs, we check for firmware issues that may trigger auto-shutoff.
⚠️ Don’t ignore random shutdowns — they can escalate to full board failure. Book a check-up early.
5. No Sound / Poor Audio
What’s happening: Picture is perfect but there’s no sound at all, or the sound is crackling, distorted, or coming from only one side.
Possible causes:
- Blown internal speakers
- Faulty audio amplifier IC
- Mainboard audio circuit failure
- Software/settings issue on smart TVs
What Refitec does: We first rule out software issues (muted, wrong audio output selected). If hardware is at fault, we test the speakers and audio circuit. Speaker replacements are affordable and done quickly — usually same day.
6. Cracked or Damaged Screen
What’s happening: The screen has physical cracks, dark splotches, or is broken from an impact.
What Refitec does: We source and install compatible replacement screens for most TV brands and sizes. We’ll give you a quote based on your specific model. In cases where screen cost exceeds TV value, we advise you honestly.
7. Smart TV Issues — Slow, Freezing, Apps Not Working
What’s happening: Your smart TV is sluggish, apps crash, the interface is unresponsive, or the TV is stuck on a boot screen.
Possible causes:
- Low internal storage
- Corrupted firmware
- Overloaded RAM
- Failed software update
What Refitec does: We perform smart TV software servicing — factory resets, firmware reflashing, cache clearing, and storage management. We can also advise on external streaming devices if the built-in smart system is beyond recovery.
8. HDMI / USB Ports Not Working
What’s happening: You plug in your decoder, laptop, or USB drive and the TV doesn’t detect it.
Possible causes:
- Physically damaged port (bent pins)
- Mainboard HDMI/USB controller fault
What Refitec does: Minor port damage is repaired via soldering. In more complex cases involving the mainboard controller, we assess and advise. Most HDMI port repairs are straightforward and affordable.
