How Refitec Diagnoses Your Television
We don’t guess — we follow a proper process:
- Visual Inspection — We check for physical damage, burnt components, or swollen capacitors the moment your TV arrives.
- Power Test — We measure voltage across the power supply board to confirm if it’s functional.
- Board-Level Testing — Each board (mainboard, T-con, power board, LED driver) is tested individually.
- Software Check — For smart TVs, we run diagnostics on the firmware and system software.
- Component Testing — We use specialised equipment to test transistors, diodes, and ICs.
- Fault Report — We explain the problem to you in plain language and give you a cost estimate before any repair begins.
Diagnosis Fee: Ksh 1,000 — This covers our technician’s time and equipment. If you go ahead with the repair, it’s deducted from the total bill.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few simple habits can extend your TV’s life significantly:
- Use a surge protector — Power surges are the #1 killer of TV boards in Kenya. Always plug your TV into a quality surge-protected extension.
- Ensure proper ventilation — Don’t mount your TV flush against a wall with no airspace. Heat kills electronics.
- Avoid covering the TV — Dust cloths and fabrics trap heat. Let it breathe.
- Keep it dry — Humidity causes corrosion on circuit boards. Avoid placing your TV near windows or in damp rooms.
- Don’t leave it on standby for months — If you’re travelling, switch off from the wall socket.
- Handle remotes gently — Dropped remotes damage the IR sensor inside the TV too.
- Clean vents regularly — Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust from the back vents every few months.
- Avoid voltage fluctuations — If your area has unstable power (common in Nairobi), consider a voltage stabiliser.
