Goodmans TV Screen Black but have sound

[Dan the Tv man]

Before you throw this tv away,plug it up and shine a strong flashlight into the blank screen.If you see a faint picture the inverter boards dont work,and it should still be repairable.Check them for bulging capacitor tops.

Might, I say might, have something to do with the "magic smoke" that escaped out of the top.
