If your TV is dead, blinking, clicking, or unresponsive to the remote, the most common cause is a failed power board or a single blown capacitor on it. We diagnose in your living room and give you a written quote before any work begins. Some repairs are completed in the same visit; others need a model-specific part ordered first, in which case we schedule a follow-up to install.
When a TV stops powering on, the symptom looks like a single problem from the couch but the underlying cause varies. Before our tech arrives, it helps to know which of these you’re seeing — it makes the call faster and the diagnosis more accurate.
About one out of every twenty “won’t turn on” calls turns out to be something the homeowner can fix in 30 seconds. We’ll happily save you the service call.
If neither of those wakes the set up, it’s a board-level repair. That’s us.
Our tech arrives, opens the back of the set, and runs a structured diagnosis — voltage at the power supply, output rails, capacitor health, fuse continuity. The whole diagnosis usually takes 15–25 minutes. You’ll get a clear walkthrough of what we found and a written estimate before any work begins, and the flat-rate diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you proceed.
We do our best to keep our trucks stocked with as many commonly needed parts as possible. If we have the right part on hand for your model, we replace it on-site that same visit and you’re done. If your TV needs something we have to order, we order it for you on the spot and schedule a follow-up appointment to install once it arrives — with no additional service-call fee on the return trip. You only pay the one trip charge from the original visit, plus the cost of the repair itself. Either way, you’ll have a written estimate up front and no surprises.
Prices include parts and labor. Final number depends on brand, size, and exact failure. We quote in writing before starting.
If your TV is more than seven years old and the failure is on a board that costs close to half the price of a new set, we’ll tell you that on the phone. You’re better off replacing it. We’d rather save you a service call than upsell a repair that doesn’t pencil out.
