Sounds like a slightly defective or intermittent relay, need to get it replaced (the relay)

ALL TVs still use relays

I can’t be certain due to the vague description fo the problem and no model number but it is likely a bad capacitor to the power relay. I have a a few models with that same problem. Mos tof the newer ones now dont even use relays anymore.

Hi, without knowing too much about the model etc, my best guess as an ex television engineer would be the clicking noise that you are describing i would say in the televisions power supply (inside the set) They normally have what is called a switch mode power supply which unlike the name has no mechanical switches. It relies on various electrical components. If it is intermittent as you say my guess would be a dry solder joint or maybe a capacitor either are not dear but sometimes locating the faulty part can take time.

Depends on the model.
The description of clicking and screen flickering with a DLP could be the color wheel is off axis.

CRT RP: Would be power issue.

LCD RP: Could be the lamp.

It might be the wall outlet. Try plugging it in a different one if it still acts the same its probably the television set that might have a bad power supply.
