Only 11V? Not to 13V?
PSU has separate standby and run. If there is a fault with the run supply, the main board might cycle on and off.

Well that's the reading of my multimeter.

It's a pretty cheap one, and since the voltage is changing so fast it may be giving incorrect readings?

So what can we do next? I'm running out of options, unfortunately, and i really need to get this TV fixed.

I dont know a lot about tvs but a couple of tests may mean something to someone.

If you can get to it can you VERY carefully test the voltage on the main cap - meter on VDC600 may be 300-400v hold the test for a few seconds to see if the voltage varies
in time to the clicking. If you cant get to it, solder a couple of wires on it and test to them BUT remember its HIGH VOLTAGE. If you go the wire route make sure the cap is discharged and the set unplugged before soldering.

I notice on the back of the boards there are various test points marked if these are
accessible when the board is in place you could test on those using a ground screw
for the black lead.
