Sound but no picture, a dim screen or shadowy image — typically a backlight or panel-board fault we can repair.
TV Repairs
TV repairs in Gauteng — honest, and only when it’s worth it
No picture, no sound, a dead board or a backlight fault? We diagnose the real problem and repair it when it’s worth repairing — often for a fraction of a new TV. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you straight.
Same-day serviceWorkmanship guaranteeAccredited installers
Diagnosed properly, repaired honestly
Most TVs are more fixable than people think
A TV with sound but no picture usually has a backlight or panel-board fault, not a dead screen. A TV that won’t switch on is often a failed power board or a few blown capacitors. These are repairs — frequently affordable ones — yet plenty of people replace a perfectly fixable set because nobody told them otherwise.
We diagnose the actual fault first: power board, main board, backlight, T-CON, or a software issue on a smart TV. Then we give you an honest answer — what it costs to repair, and whether that’s worth it against the price of a replacement. About a third of the time we’ll tell you to replace it, even though the diagnosis earns us nothing.
TV repair is a supporting service alongside our main DStv and installation work — but it’s work we take just as seriously, and it’s backed by the same workmanship guarantee.

FAQs
Your questions, answered
The things people ask us most before they book.
Still not sure?
Send a photo of your dish, decoder or TV on WhatsApp. We can often tell you what's wrong before we get in the van.
WhatsApp a photoIs it worth repairing my TV or should I replace it?
It depends on the fault and the TV. A backlight, power board or capacitor repair is often a fraction of the price of a new set and well worth doing; a cracked panel usually isn’t. We diagnose it first and give you an honest recommendation either way.
My TV has sound but no picture — is that fixable?
Usually, yes. Sound but no picture typically means a backlight or panel-board fault rather than a dead screen, and both are commonly repairable. We’ll confirm the exact cause on diagnosis.
Can you repair a cracked TV screen?
A physically cracked LCD/LED panel generally isn’t economical to replace — the panel costs almost as much as a new TV. We’ll tell you honestly rather than take on a repair that doesn’t make sense for you.
Which TV brands do you repair?
All the major brands — Samsung, LG, Hisense, Sony, TCL, Skyworth and more. Tell us the make and model and we’ll let you know what’s involved.
How long does a TV repair take?
Simple faults can sometimes be done same-day; board-level repairs or ones needing an ordered part take a little longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe with the quote.
Do you collect the TV or must I bring it in?
Depending on your area and the TV, we can arrange collection or assess on site. Let us know your suburb and we’ll tell you the easiest option.
