Guess what?! Just by unplugging the power and waiting 5 minutes (I actually waited about an hour) and then plugging in again fixed it!
The SONY website recommended this for a similar problem and it worked for me (for now anyway!) Thanks for this service, it's a great site!

Hello!!! My samsung TV is making a clicking sound, and red light flashes, I don't know if the TV is actually on or if it's just appears to be a black screen.

It is most likely that your power supply PCB is faulty. Some have had luck with the following procedure to correct it, so you might try this:

Unplug the TV for 30 seconds, and then plug it into a working outlet.

If the standby light comes on (and doesn't flash or blink), your TV is receiving power and will probably turn on now just fine. ...
If the standby light comes on but flashes or blinks, or if the standby light still doesn't come on, service is required.

TV goes to blank screen standby after one second of normal functioning green power light on. When in standby state, the TV is blank like it's off and the red standby light blinks FOUR times.

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Sony KV-24LS35U green light flashing 11 times

The Sony error codes go up to 7, so when the standby light flashes 11 times it usually means that one of the clock or data lines deep inside the set is shorted to ground. This is not fixable from the front or through the remote, so the set should be serviced by a qualified tech familiar with Sony sets.
