My Samsung Lnt3242h Screen Will Not Turn On

We were watching it last night and the screen went off. I unplugged it for 2 hours and it will not respond to the power button. I have tried it in a different plug as well with no success. I have taken the back off and can't seem to see any issues with the capacitors.

you say the screen will not turn on, you do not say the TV will not turn on. Many times a bad capacitor will stop the TV from coming on, or cause the TV to come on slowly. There is also a possibility that the TV comes on but the back-lights fail to work leaving the screen black. If this is the issue then you will have audio and if you point a flash light into the screen you will see that there is a picture present. The problem could be the inverter board (which lights and controls the back light florescent tubes inside the LCD panel (physically behind the LCD screen). The model number you gave is incomplete, this narrows it down to a series only, and there are many versions available. here a link to show many of the boards (ensure the numbers on the tags match with the these, to ensure you purchase the correct board): http://www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=LN-T3242H
