Televisions are the one category where genuine component-level repair still saves people serious money, and it is where our workshop background shows. Naveed Electronics has repaired LED, LCD, plasma and smart televisions in Dubai since 1996 — power boards, backlight strips, T-CON boards and mainboards, diagnosed on the bench rather than swapped by guesswork.
Find your symptom below. Each one tells you the usual cause, so you
know roughly what you are dealing with before you call.
No picture but sound still works
Backlight failure. The panel is still producing an image — shine a torch at the screen and you will usually see it faintly. Backlight strips are repairable and far cheaper than a new TV.
TV will not switch on at all
Standby light off or blinking means the power supply board. Bulging capacitors on that board are a very common and repairable fault.
Vertical or horizontal lines on the screen
Lines usually point at the T-CON board or the panel's ribbon connections. T-CON faults are repairable; panel faults often are not, and we will tell you which you have.
Half the screen is dark or dim
Failed backlight strips on one side. Common on larger LED panels after a few years of heat.
Screen flickers or dims randomly
A failing power board or backlight driver. Left alone it usually progresses to total backlight failure.
Smart TV apps freeze or will not load
Firmware or mainboard memory fault. Sometimes recoverable with a firmware reflash rather than a board replacement.

In detail
TV/LCD/LED Repair — what actually goes wrong
Backlight failure is the most common repairable TV fault
If your TV has sound but no visible picture, hold a torch close to the dark screen and look carefully. If you can see a faint image, the panel and all the processing are fine and only the LED backlight has failed. This is a repair, not a write-off: the strips are replaceable and the job is well within our workshop's scope. Many people replace a perfectly good television because nobody told them this.
What we can repair and what we cannot
We are direct about this because it saves everyone time. Power boards, backlight strips, T-CON boards, mainboards, HDMI ports and firmware faults are all repairable. A physically cracked or internally damaged LCD panel is not economically repairable — the panel is most of the cost of the television. If you have a cracked screen we will tell you straight away rather than charging for a diagnosis to reach the same conclusion.
Why cheap TV repairs come back
The shortcut approach is to swap boards until the symptom goes away. It sometimes works, but if the original fault was a failing power rail, the new board fails too. We diagnose to component level — testing capacitors, MOSFETs and voltage rails — so the underlying cause is fixed. That is also why we can offer a warranty on the work.
Bench work, collection and return
Some TV faults can be dealt with at your home, but panel and board-level work needs a static-safe bench, proper test equipment and space to lay a large screen flat. When that is the case we collect the television, repair it at the Al Satwa workshop, and deliver it back. You are told the fault and the fixed price before anything is ordered.
Pricing
What the repair will cost
We do not publish a fixed price list, because quoting a number before
seeing the fault would be guesswork. Here is what actually moves the price, so you can
judge whether a quote you are given is fair.
Which part failedThe biggest factor. Sensors, switches, seals and elements are inexpensive. Compressors, motors and control boards are not.
Genuine or compatible partOriginal manufacturer parts cost more and last longer. Where a genuine part is discontinued we tell you and let you decide.
Home visit or workshopMost repairs finish at your home in one visit. Bench work adds collection and return, quoted up front.
Built-in or freestandingIntegrated units take longer to remove and refit correctly, which adds labour time.
Age of the applianceIf a repair would cost more than about half the price of a new unit, we tell you to replace it instead.
For televisions, a power supply repair is the cheap end. Backlight strip replacement is mid-range and scales with screen size. A T-CON or mainboard replacement is the expensive end. A cracked panel is not economically repairable and we say so before charging anything.
How it works: you get a realistic range on the phone, then a fixed quote
after diagnosis. Nothing is opened, ordered or charged until you approve that figure.
Questions
TV/LCD/LED Repair — answered
My TV has sound but no picture — is it worth repairing?
Very likely yes. That symptom is usually backlight failure, which means the panel itself is fine. Shine a torch at the dark screen; if you can see a faint image, it is a repairable backlight fault and far cheaper than replacing the television.
Can you repair a cracked TV screen?
No — a physically damaged LCD panel is not economically repairable, because the panel represents most of the cost of the TV. We will tell you this immediately rather than charge you for a diagnosis to reach the same answer.
Do you repair at my home or take the TV away?
Simple faults and wall mounting we handle at your home. Board-level and backlight work needs the workshop bench, so we collect the set, repair it and return it.
How much does TV repair cost in Dubai?
It depends on the board. Power supply repairs are at the cheaper end, backlight strip replacement is mid-range and varies with screen size, and mainboard replacement is the most expensive. You get a fixed quote before we order anything.
Do you repair smart TV software problems?
Yes. Apps freezing, a TV stuck on the logo, or a failed update are often firmware faults that can be reflashed rather than needing a new mainboard.
Which TV brands do you repair?
Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL, Philips, Sharp, Nikai, Super General and most other brands sold in the UAE, in all screen sizes.
