It sounds like you have an arcing solder connection somewhere in the power input to your TV. This is a loose connection somewhere. You might confirm this by jarring the set while it in operation. (Not too hard) If the problem shows up then a loose connection is confirmed. Also a component may be breaking down internally. You need to have a tech check it for you. Stargazer

RCA model F25261. When I try to turn it on, it makes a series of really loud clicking noises, like it's turning itself on and off numerous times. Eventually it just shuts off without ever coming on....

You have a power supply issue and unit is turning itself off to prevent further damage.

I turn on my TV and the power button just flashes. There is a sound of the TV turning on and off also. This goes on for about a minute before the TV finally turns off for good. WHY?

Trouble turning on tv. High pitched noise/click.

The mainboard might have some loose components, or cold solder , or may be the filter capacitors are becoming faulty. Yes it is worth repairing, bring it to the repair shop. Cheers.

LG 47" LCD TV - 47LC7DF Clicking Noise

I was told that these clicking noises (which happen on my Magnavox LCD too) were due to the "power required" at the internal switch. Seems that the power required to immediately turn on the TV is too much for a standalone household outlet, so it "surges" power in a series to get enough there. Hence, the clicking sounds are actually mini power surges to send more power to the internal circuits to turn the TV on.

If your set is like mine, these noises generally stop after a minute or two, correct?

RCA tv Making a clicking noise

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.

TV will not turn on

Probably needs a new HV Splitter block, they are very difficult to replace and can usually be accessed thru the front behind the speaker grill and behind convergence board.
