You can try removing the main board & reseating it. Also try plugging into another outlet & make sure the plug has a ground prong on it. Itshould have 2 flat & 1 pin shaped prongs. Otherwise the clicking sound may be the lamp trying to ignite. Normally when you plug in the LP530 the green power light is on steady & then you press it to start the lamp. If its flashing as soon as you plug it in it's likely that the main board is bad, the button board is bad, or the ballast/power board is bad.
You should remove the lamp & inspect it. It should be clear without bulging in the little bulb behind the lamp glass. I service LP530s all the time & something like that is usually the main board.
Good luck,
Jim

Thank you Tim for your timely reply. What is the effect of reseating the main board? The plug is grounded and functioning correctly. Would the lamp have anything to do with the problem since it occurs before the lamp would even be powered? The lamp is in good shape with filiment intact and no buldging. I have performed a visual inspection of the circuit boards and have found no signs of burning, buldging of components, or foul smells. Are there any other "quick fixes" that may take care of this problem. Thank you again for your assistance.
