Please shine a very bright flashlight into the screen and tell me if you see a VERY faint ghost like image in the TV screen.
No, there is not a very faint ghost like image in the TV screen
I have opted out of this question since I have no information on this model in my database. By opting out this prompts other experts to reply if they have the answer for you. Hopefully another expert will respond soon. Regards,Edward
Hi!
When you turn on the TV, place the back of your hand against the screen. Can you feel the high voltage come up (the hairs on the back of your hand will stand up)?
If you get high voltage, are you able to get any on screen graphics from the TV's menu?

Aren't the Samsung "LN" models all LCD TVs? No picture tube. Bob W.39864.8637695255
Actually, I thought so, too, but the customer says it's a tube set.
, is this a flat panel TV or a tube TV?
This is a flat panel TV
When you turn it on, can you see any faint glow on the screen? You may have to be in the dark to see this.
If there is absolutely no glow at all, and you cannot shine a flashlight on the screen and make out a very dim picture, you either have a defective Digital Main board or the actual screen itslef is defective, and without a service manual and parts, there's not much you can do other than take it to a service provider.
You may also have a defect in the power supply, but you would have to be able to take the set apart and measure voltages against what the service manual says should be there.
Sorry I don't have more for you to go on, let me know if you want some troubleshooting advice if you're comfortable working on the set, and thanks for using JustAnswer!
