When a Sony television powers on but refuses to behave, displaying a black screen, freezing at the logo, or cycling endlessly between on and off, the fault very often lies in one place: the main board. As Nairobi's trusted Sony TV repair specialists, Pro-Logic Technologies provides fast main board fixes and replacements for every Sony BRAVIA model, from compact HD sets to flagship OLED and Mini LED televisions. This guide explains what the main board does, how to recognize its failure symptoms, and how quickly a professional repair can restore your television.
What Is the Main Board in a Sony TV?
The main board, sometimes called the motherboard or A-board in Sony service documentation, is the command centre of the television. Every HDMI and USB port, the Wi-Fi and network functions, the on-screen menu system, the tuner that receives broadcast channels, and the audio output all connect through this single circuit board. The main board also communicates with the power supply and the T-con board, instructing the screen when and how to display an image. Because it touches every function of the television, a failing main board produces symptoms that can appear almost anywhere, which is why professional diagnosis matters.
Common Signs of a Faulty Sony TV Main Board
Owners bring Sony televisions to our Luthuli Avenue workshop with a recognizable set of main board symptoms:
- Black screen with sound, or no picture at all. The panel receives no video signal from the main board, even though the power supply and backlight are working.
- Stuck on the Sony logo or boot looping. The television restarts repeatedly or freezes during start-up, a classic sign of corrupted firmware or a failing board.
- No sound, distorted sound, or dead HDMI ports. Input and audio processing failures point directly to the main board.
- Remote control and button failures. If the television ignores the remote and its own buttons, the main board's control circuitry may be at fault.
- No Wi-Fi, no network, or missing apps. Smart television functions live on the main board, and their failure frequently indicates board-level damage.
- Random shutdowns, freezing, or intermittent operation. Faults that come and go with temperature are often caused by degraded main board components or dry solder joints.
Fast Main Board Repair and Replacement at Pro-Logic Technologies
At our Kangari Building workshop on Luthuli Avenue, speed and accuracy define our main board service. Every repair begins with a structured diagnostic that isolates the main board as the true cause of the fault, because symptoms such as black screens and boot loops can also originate from the power supply or T-con board, and a misdiagnosis wastes your money. Once the fault is confirmed, we offer two cost-effective routes.
The first is board-level repair. Our technicians replace the failed components on your existing main board, including power regulators, memory chips, and damaged HDMI port hardware, which preserves your television's original firmware and settings and keeps costs low. The second is full replacement. Where a board is beyond economic repair, we supply genuine and compatible Sony main boards matched exactly to your model, transfer the firmware where required, and configure the board to your television so that it boots and operates exactly as it did from the factory.
Most main board repairs and replacements are completed within one working day, and many walk-in customers from Nairobi CBD collect their television the same afternoon. Every job is backed by our service warranty, so you leave with confidence, not just a working screen.

If a repair costs more than your television is worth, we will tell you so plainly.
If your Sony television shows any main board failure symptoms, do not attempt to open the set yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a Sony TV main board replacement cost in Nairobi?
The cost depends on your television model and screen size, because main boards vary significantly across the Sony BRAVIA range. Board-level component repairs are generally the most affordable option, while full board replacement is quoted according to the exact part your model requires. At Pro-Logic Technologies, we provide a written quotation after a physical diagnosis, and the diagnostic fee is waived when you proceed with the repair.
2. How long does a Sony TV main board repair take?
Most main board repairs and replacements are completed within one working day. Board-level component repairs are often finished the same day for walk-in customers, while replacement boards that must be ordered for less common models may take two to three days. We always give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
3. Can a faulty main board cause a black screen on a Sony TV?
Yes. A black screen with sound present is one of the most common main board failure symptoms. However, the same symptom can also be caused by a faulty T-con board, power supply, or backlight, so a professional diagnosis is essential before any part is replaced. Our technicians test each board to confirm the exact cause.
4. Is it better to repair or replace the main board on a Sony TV?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Board-level repair is usually more affordable and preserves your television's original firmware and settings. Full replacement is recommended when the board is physically damaged, extensively degraded, or beyond economic component repair. We assess your board and recommend the most economical option honestly.
5. Do you offer a warranty on Sony TV main board repairs in Nairobi?
Yes. Pro-Logic Technologies provides a service warranty on every main board repair and replacement. The warranty covers the workmanship and the parts we install, giving you peace of mind that the fault has been properly resolved and not merely masked. Bring your television to Kangari Building, Luthuli Avenue, or call 0723 763 173 for details.
