How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We follow a systematic process to get it right the first time:
- Visual inspection — We check for physical damage, burnt components, and loose connections.
- Power test — We test voltage supply to identify if the issue is on the power board.
- Board-level testing — Using multimeters and oscilloscopes to trace faults on the mainboard, T-Con, and inverter boards.
- Software/firmware check — For smart TVs, we check for corrupted firmware or update issues.
- Component testing — Capacitors, ICs, transistors, and backlights are individually tested.
- Final confirmation — After repair, the TV runs a burn-in test before being returned.
Diagnosis Fee: Ksh 1,000 — This covers full fault assessment. If you proceed with repair, it’s deducted from the total bill.

Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your TV running longer:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Use a surge protector | Power surges silently destroy internal boards |
| Don’t block ventilation slots | Overheating kills capacitors and backlights |
| Turn off when not in use | Reduces wear on backlights and power boards |
| Avoid direct sunlight on screen | Causes panel discolouration over time |
| Clean with a dry microfibre cloth | Wet cleaning can damage screen coating |
| Don’t ignore flickering early on | Small faults become expensive if ignored |
| Update smart TV firmware | Prevents software freezes and crashes |
| Avoid placing near water sources | Moisture causes corrosion on boards |
