Samsung QLED TVs use LED backlighting (not OLED). Sound but no picture usually means backlight failure. The power board and main board are common failure points. Always discharge capacitors before working.
If you hear sound but see nothing, shine a flashlight at the screen. A faint image means backlight failure. Replace the LED strips or backlight assembly.
QLED backlights use LED strips. Test each strip or replace the entire assembly. The diffuser layers must be handled carefully.
HDMI ports are on the main board. One bad port - use another. Replacement requires soldering skill.
Test for 12V and 24V outputs. Bulging capacitors indicate failure. Replace the power board if outputs are missing.

Unplug the TV and wait 24 hours for capacitors to discharge. TVs hold high voltage - never open while plugged in.
Lay the TV face-down on a soft surface. Remove the screws around the back panel. Lift the panel to access the internals.
If there is sound but no picture, shine a flashlight at the screen. If you see a faint image, the backlight has failed. QLED TVs use LED strips. Test each strip or replace the entire backlight assembly.

If the TV does not turn on, test the power board. Use a multimeter to check for 12V and 24V outputs. Bulging capacitors indicate failure. Replace the power board if outputs are missing.
HDMI ports are on the main board. Desoldering requires skill. If one port is bad, use another. For replacement, use hot air and lead-free solder.
Replace the back panel. Ensure all cables are connected. Stand the TV upright carefully.
Plug in and power on. Verify picture, sound, and all inputs.
