I have a 42 lg, it won't turn on, the sound of the clicking noise just keeps going off and on off and on...but no picture...like there is no electricity going to it or something. I have to unplug it so the click will stop. If I plug it back in then the clicks just keeps clicking...anyone help.

Our LG 50" plasma tv screen went black after a popping noise but still had sound, after great diliberations decided to take the back off and have a peek!
We unplugged the tv and tested the fuses (there were three we could see) one had blown, the one on the left as you look at the back of the tv it also has one above it. We wrote the code/seriel number down and took the fuse to the electrical wholesalers Maplin and bought a pack of 10 fuses for £1.29 replaced the fuse in the tv and everything now fine!!!!!!
Hope this might be of use to anyone whose lost the picture after a loud popping/snacking noise but still has sound.

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?

replace the power supply it is a simple fix if you can hear the relays click 2 times or more replace the power supply board you can order them from UNION Electronics ask for kyle when you call ,,if the power supply isnt the problem then it will be the control board located below the power supply board I have repaired a few of these the voltages are marked on the power sullpy board conections be careful there is a VERY HIGH AND DANGEROUS VOLTAGE FEEDING THE X AND Z BOARDS DONT REMOVE THIS WITH SET PLUGED IN IT IS HOT ENOUGH TO BURN A HOLE IN YOUR SKIN AND EVEN DO MORE DAMAGE TO YOU if your not sure what to do Call LG they have a good support theam there
