USB Board
Television USB Board: Estimated Prices in Nairobi for Different Sizes and Brands
The USB board houses the TV's USB ports, which are used for connecting flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, and — in some models — for charging mobile devices. Like HDMI ports, USB ports can be mounted on the main board or on a separate sub-board. Physical damage (bent ports, broken solder joints), or detection failures (the TV not recognising connected devices) are the most common complaints.
Practical tip for Nairobi users: USB failure is sometimes caused by power fluctuations damaging the USB controller chip rather than the port itself. This is a common scenario in areas with unstable power. A technician should test with a known-good flash drive before dismantling the set.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost (Part) | Estimated Labour |
|---|---|---|
| USB port re-soldering | KSh 300 – 1,000 | KSh 800 – 1,500 |
| USB port replacement (hardware) | KSh 500 – 2,000 | KSh 1,000 – 2,000 |
| Dedicated USB sub-board | KSh 2,000 – 6,000 | KSh 1,000 – 2,500 |
| Main board (if USB is integrated) | KSh 7,000 – 20,000 | KSh 2,000 – 4,000 |
Note: USB board repairs are among the minor, more affordable TV repairs — typically KSh 1,500 to KSh 4,000 inclusive of labour in most Nairobi workshops.
