Change the main board if you have good picture and sound. If you don't have picture and sound, the inverter will also need to be change.

SOURCE: we bought vizio 32 in flat screen tv 2 yrs ago and

On the power supply circuit board some capacitors will vent (top will pop open), dome, or bulge. They can be replaced but the board is two sided and easy to damage. Having the caps replaced at a repair shop is the best way to go. If diyers try it the board can be damaged and then it would have to be replaced. Repair may cost a couple hundred dollars, but a new board can cost that alone, not including installation.

No picture but have sound

That click might have originated in 2 places: either it was the main relay disconnecting or it was the sound of a capacitor popping. Both are very severe problems - they signal that the power source of your tv has just failed.
Fixing it is a job for someone with electronics experience, if you're not one then call a repairman.

42 inch LG Plasma TV - Lost picture

Most likely what happened is one of the capacitors went bad. When a capacitors goes bad it produces a popping sound. This could be an easy and cheap fix if you find the bad capacitor or capacitors. The bad capacitor will have a bulging top most likely on the power board but could be anywhere.

I have a Zenith 50" Plasma. I was watching tv, then heard a load pop and the screen goes black. I have power and sound, but no picture. What's the deal?

If this tv is 2-3 yrs pld, your problem is going to be you Y-sustain board or your Z-sustain board. This is a board level repair unit. These boards usually cost about $300, give or take.
