How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we test. Here’s our process:
- Visual inspection — Check for physical damage, burnt components, or swollen capacitors.
- Power test — Measure voltage at the power board and main board.
- Backlight test — Confirm if the panel or backlight inverter is the issue.
- Board-level diagnosis — Use multimeters and oscilloscopes to trace faults on the mainboard, T-con board, or power supply.
- Software check — For smart TVs, we check firmware, software crashes, and factory reset issues.
- Component testing — Individual components (capacitors, ICs, transistors) are tested before replacement.
Diagnosis fee: KSh 1,000 (deducted from repair cost if you proceed with us).

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few habits can save you from an expensive repair bill:
- Use a surge protector — Power surges are one of the top causes of TV board failures in Nairobi. A good surge protector costs a few hundred shillings and can save thousands.
- Don’t block ventilation — Placing your TV in a tight cabinet traps heat and damages internal components over time.
- Avoid turning off from the wall directly — Always use the remote or the power button first, then the switch. Sudden power cuts stress the mainboard.
- Keep it dust-free — Dust inside the TV causes overheating. Clean the vents occasionally with a soft brush.
- Don’t ignore warning signs — A flickering screen or random shutdowns usually signal a minor fault that gets worse if left too long. Fix it early and save more.
- Use original remote controls — Third-party remotes with the wrong IR codes can mess with smart TV software.
- Stable mounting — Ensure wall-mounted TVs are properly fixed. Loose mounts cause vibrations that damage internal connections.
