The tv makes a snapping noise and the screen flickers. This happens for the first few minutes the tv is on. And then we noticed that the tv sounds like you are turning it off and on.
Sounds like the high voltage transformer is bad. Best bet is to call a service shop. I wouldn't keep watching the set, as this will just cause more damage.

You are on the right track, if the lamp is not lighting bright enough it could do this exact thing, the three tries is standard on RCA products, called the 3 strikes and your out---set will try 3 times to make it on and then shut down.
The color wheel while possible usually makes a high pitched fan like sound and with lamp out you should be able to see it to know if missing parts of the wheel or shattered.
U had this tv for 15 years but u watches or used the tv less than 8 hours everydays?Yes,than this tv set have alot of life left in it like another 5-7 years more.Yes,if the repair cost is around $500 or less.Because u will not get that kind of screen "61 size for $500 dollars.
What is the Model Number that is printed on back of TV?
You say TV is DLP ,but you are posting Model# HD52W59 that is for Projection that has 3 Tubes Red/Green/Blue Tubes.
If TV is DLP then problem will be the Color Wheel
If it is Projection then it has a coil on the deflection board that either needs to be replaced or
resolder ciol and take a Glue gun and glue over the top of coil. Coil LL037 on the right handside of the FBT flyback transfomer.
If this is a DLP set, which I suspect it is....you need a new color wheel. Common problem for these sets. If you don't have an extended service plan, about a 300--400 fix, in home.
I had the problem myself with my Scenium, the TV has a prblom with the circuitry and only fix is through an authorized RCA repare facility. Hope its fixed for you soon, awesome tv.
Rate plz
This is a power supply problem it may be as simple as a blown fuse or as complex as a malfunctioning IHVT (Integrated High Voltage Transformer). Is it worth fixing, only you can answer that I would estimate the cost from $100.00 - $500.00 at least.
I have an RCA 52" TV and it is doing the same. I have been advised not worth fixing it..
