What is the LCD screen model number so we can look up the spec sheet? We need to find out if the lamps are CCFL or EEFL.

I could not find the spec for the LTF400HF12 which has 14 LAMPS, I found the spec for the HF16 but it only has 12 lamps.

They are CCFL's.

Re: Samsung LE40B620R3W no back light

so if I can find these bulbs and replace them are we saying this will fix the unit? or is there likly still a board issue on top?

Your best bet would be to look out for a set that that has a damaged screen and strip for parts. mostly any old 40"LCD model you should be able to use with a little bit of work to fit

Good bulbs will almost certainly fix your issue.

Re: Samsung LE40B620R3W no back light

would it be something a repair shop could supply me out of an old set, I've had a look around and people want silly money for broken/damaged sets :-( its not looking good

It wouldn't hurt to contact repair shops. Like I said in an earlier post, another member posted that he bought six bulbs for 5 pounds.
