I have a 4010 (still need hard copy unit). This is normal behavior before
you hit the page key to erase the screen. It sounds like you will need to
do some fixing. The screens on these things weren't very durable, you
shouldn't leave it on too long if you can't clear the screen. If you do
get it working it it also best to not leave displays up too long. The unit
will dim the screen after a few minutes but clearing is still best. Mine has
a note stuck to it warning about this (and a sticker inside saying when
the tube was replaced).
If you have the skill to troubleshoot the maintenance manuals are probably
available for around $25. I have gotten Tek stuff from

Mine had the same problem with the power light not lighting, I can't
remember anymore if page worked. A capacitor had shorted and blew a
fuze in the power supply.
In the end I had to replace several chips in mine and the shorted capacitor.

Looks similar to my 4010 but the boards don't look identical. If it will
help I can give you a summary from the manual for my unit on how the
clear works. Theory should be similar for yours but were signals go
may not be.
