Hello all, again!
I've found myself my next project, I thought I'd diagnosed and fixed it myself but apparently not.
As in the title the TV clicks repeatedly in what seems to be a never ending loop. My research told me that particular set had a manufacturing defect where the 10v caps were simply not good enough for the job and would require either 16 volt or 25 volt ones in place of them.
Someone else had done the change at some point in the TVs life time and by the look of the soldering work it wasn't a novice, however most of these caps had failed again and I replaced them but that didn't resolve the issue.
I was lead to believe that when those caps fail, they can also take out the EEPROM chip with it. I had a look around Google and found that shorting it for 2 seconds could possibly fix it but it was considered a bodge job so I replaced the EEPROM chip completely with one I found on eBay

After some careful soldering and feeling quite proud of the job I did it still doesn't work, still just clicks away.
Has anyone else had this or heard of anything else that may cause this with these sets?
I could provide pics but I wouldn't know which you'd want to see apart from some perfectly looking caps and a recently replaced EEPROM chip.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
