    The TV started clicking when it was off. I unplugged it. After plugging it in the blue light on the side panel lights up, as well as, the blue light on the front. After a few seconds the orange light flashes and the lights go out. I can hear clicking when the lights come on and go off.

I don't know why but this got my TV on.
I took off the back cover and found the source of the clicking.
Two blue plastic rectangular relays in the exact middle.
When I pushed the power button, I felt the top relay click, and I saw a flash from the bottom one. (they are right next to each other)
I took a hair dryer and placed it over the two relays for about 1 minute and tried the power.
It clicked only 4 times and then came on!!!!!!!!!
For some reason heat helps the relay.
If anyone is a tech and can explain this, please do.
Good luck!!!!
My tv is on and it didn't cost me anything.
I just can't turn it off now!!!

It sounds that there is some loose contact with any of the IC heatsinks inside the circuit board. Your TV need a through checkup. It is really a skilled work to do with Plasma displays, as they adopts the latest technology. Even an experienced service tech: too will feel a little bit difficult to reach the exact fault point. In my view, it will be better to contact any service technician in your TVs case. If you do wish to get some ideas about the working of Plasma displays, check this link. If you are not familiar with electronics, do not attempt to repair. Whether you suffer fatal electrical shock! Instead, contact the nearest service center.

Sounds like a faulty power supply, most probably caused by a power surge or the likes.

Pioneer pdp 502mx goes to standby no picture after power on
Contact Pioneer at 1-800-421-1404 about getting an in-home power supply replacement. This is a known issue with some plasma displays. Some of you would experience a loud pop and then the power supply fails. You get a red light below the ON button, when you press on, the red light will turn green for a second and then back to red. The plasma display will not turn on after the power supply fails. Call Pioneer at 1-800-421-1404.

Relays click. That's about it
try unhooking the wires coming off the power board you should be able to unhook every thing except the switch wire and se plug if the green lights stay on and the red don't come on then you have something loading down your power supply if it still shuts down you need a new power supply
