One of my neighbors gave me their broken JVC tv. When I turned it on, I got no picture or audio. There was a clicking noise and the red standby light on the front was flashing. I opened up the tv and found the clicking noise to be coming from a relay directly next to a transformer (not the HV transformer). When I was originally testing this, there was a terrible burning smell coming from the tv (not sure where exactly) and there was some small amount of smoke. Is this problem only from a broken transformer, or is there a bigger problem here? Thanks
To all the user with this problem.
The TV is on protect mode. The clicking sound is the protection switch
that keep turning the TV off to prevent further damage, this happens
when a fault had been detected.
Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.
Also
ensure that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending
bad signal, check if you get same problem with no receiver box
or dvd connected.
If that does not work, and you keep having a flashing
led on front of the TV, and tv turning off by itself after a while,
that indicates a fault condition.
The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible reasons.
1The
internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic
charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read
by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the
protection circuit.
2 The protection circuit detected a wrong
voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in
, startingthe flashing light.
If you are in situation one, then theTV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.
If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.
Common faults
that can occur are a blown capacitor on power board, a
convergence IC has blown, or a fault on Digital board.
Check also
the video cable or any external connection cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you
can get same flashing state because of the video cable.
If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

TV SREEN AND SOUND SHUT DOWN AND ON TIMER LIGHT IS FLASHING ON & OFF WITH CLICKING NOISE
My TV has this same problem but the red standby light is not flashing but is on. There is no sound no video and a clicking sound coming from inside the set somewhere on the board but cant localize the source. I hope somebody can tell me about a solution to this problem.
Same thing here. Called a Sears TV tech who is a friend. He said it sounds like the High voltage is fine because the tv is clicking (a sign of the high voltage coming on). He suggested the problem is in the control board itself. Probably has something to do with the AV controllers not being able to initialize when the tv is trying to power up. He also said I would be hard pressed to find a replacement board and even if I could the cost would not be worth it. His suggestion time for a new TV.....
