LG Plasma TV power supply output double the rated voltage.
Hi, I have a LG Plasma TV model 60PA6550 that will not show a picture.
The TV will click on from standby, and I have sound. The remote works for power, and volume/mute functions.
I have tried unplugging the y-sus and z-sus boards separately and together, but it doesn't change anything.
I have inspected the boards, and do not see any bulged Caps (I was hoping this would be a simple fix) The fuses are good as well.
When I test the power output, it is approximately double the rated voltage
For example, The pin for m5v actual output is 10v, the VA is supposed to be 55V but is 120v, and the VS voltages are 457v instead of 201-206 as stated on the board.
Also, when the power supply is on, the red capacitor (img_3064) is making a steady ticking noise.
My question is, Can I fix these problems either by repairing the components on the power board, or replacing it altogether? Or will the high voltages have damaged the video boards, and it won't be worth repairing any of it?
Any thoughts, questions or troubleshooting tips are appreciated!

But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
