If the Samsung tv is ON but the screen is blackout dead while the green light is ON. Then is likely that the LED power strips for the backlight are faulty. In this case, the television will be giving audio sounds but won’t displace anything on the screen.
The led power strips are one of the hardware responsible for making the image on the tv to be visible. When the led wire is cut or faulty, the audio of the television will be working fine but there will be no image to display on the tv.
In this case of faulty LED strips, I advise you to take the television to technical skill personnel to help you fix them.
