Yes, the Saumsung monitor will work for testing. For testing with Monitor , you would need a Thunderbolt to VGA or Thunderbolt to DVI depending on the Samsung monitor you have. You can find these on Amazon.de

We have a lot of suggestions, but first can you fill us in on the model number and/or year? Such as Mid 2012? Early 2013?
I am assuming it doesn't emit any sound during boot? If it did, did you connect it to an external screen to make sure whether the display/cable is failing or the logic board itself?

@jru0001, we need to know the model to give specific information, however you can find an aftermarket display normally on ebay.de.
Have you tried plugging in a Monitor?
