This is not a Samsung/Akai tv, but it is a cheap Chinese "counterfeit" tv. Here is the makers' info:

The power supply board needs to be replaced or repair. No other quick fix is available. Thanks

I fixed my Akai LCT3201AD in about 30mins. using 3 small parts from
Radio Shack. Once I got the back off, I found the power supply board
(PSB), mine was part# MLT-169B rev1.2. I looked at the capacitors
(caps.) first, because they are usually easy to diagnose. I noticed the
caps. bubbled out on the top of the board (where all the cables connect
to it). There is 3 of them in a row, positioned between the two large
heatsinks. My guess is that the heatsinks are generating a LOT of heat
over time, because of bad ventilation, and causing the caps. to fail.
I went to Radio Shack and found 3 caps. (only had 3 in stock). The
original ones were 16V-1000uF, Radio Shack only carried 35V and 50V in
the 1000uF caps., so I bought the 35V ones and headed home, I removed
the old caps. from the board, and installed the new ones. The 35V caps,
are a little bigger, so its a tighter fit on the board, be careful. It
took longer to remove the back from the TV than it did to do the
soldering. YouTube.com has excellent videos on how to de-solder caps.
on PSB's.
Total money spent on repairs:
$1.59 ea for 3 Caps. (part# 272-1032) $4.77
$2.99 for new soldering iron tip + $2.99
$1.00 donation for St. Jude's + $1.00
Total including tax $9.30
So
for less than $10, I did a repair that my local TV repair shop wanted
$575 for. Online stores want anywhere from $100-$275 for a PSB. If I
get another 2 yrs out of it that's well worth $10.

Oh Dear. I had the same problem!! The Akai televisons are not well engineered-meaning that they tried to put too much in a little package. The problem is that the power supply is malfunctioning"supposedly". But I believe that the sad truth is that the whole motherboard is malfunctioning. I can suggest a few TEMPORARY solutions but they too are not guaranteed to work!
1. Bring the tv to a repair shop and tell them to check the power supply. If it is faulty -have it exchanged and it will work for <2 weeks.
2. Literally "bend" the television in multiple directions to find a sweet spot where the screen turns on.( wait for the diode tu tur green before doing this) this will slightly bend the motherboard in hopes of agitating it to turn the screen/bulbs on.
I am terribly sorry that you too have this ridiculous problem!!!!!! :-(
Good Luck!!! I am crossing my fingers for you!!

the problem is in the power supply(they know about it good luck fighting them)but there is good news.you can remove the power supply and replace electrolytic caps,EC18,EC19,EC20 all of them are 1000mf at16 volt use 1000mf at25 volt.you can also go to shopjimmy.com enter model number you will see power supply part number MLT169B
it will be cheaper for you to replace the caps,the board cost about $80.00 from them
Testimonial: "Dale Hunter's response was completely accurate. I replaced the three capacitors that he identified. And it has been working fine since 2009. Now I have the black screen problem. Help me Dale."
