The on/off is continuous. I took off the back panel and it doesn't appear like anything is blown, burnt or bulging, but the clicking noise is definitely coming from a black rectangular capacitor on the power control board. I'm assuming I have to replace the board, #EAY63168603

Check to see if you get Va and Vs voltages from the power supply. There should be some wires running to the y-sus. A couple of those wires will be labeled va and vs. Are they present? There will be a sticker stuck to the panel somewhere telling you what they should be.

This is a common problem with these TVs. You can download the official
Sanyo repair manual for this TV (DP42746) at http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/43343/sanyo_dp42746.html.
I uploaded it here when I had the same issue with my TV last year.
The solution is almost always to replace the Power
Board (Y-Main) and the Upper and Lower Y Buffers. The parts and costs (from Sanyo in
July 2009) are listed below (NOTE: Sanyo will not ship these parts to anyone but
a repair shop):
1. V4 Y-Main (Y-Sustain) Circuit Board (Part #
LJ92-01200A, Alt Part # LJ41-02759A) - USD $139.00
2. Upper Y-Buffer
Circuit Board (Part # LJ92-01202A, Alt Part # LJ41-02760) - USD $64.00
3.
Lower Y-Buffer Circuit Board (Part # LJ92-01203A, Alt Part # LJ41-02761A) - USD
$64.00
Sanyo charges USD $10.50 for shipping, which brings the total cost for
parts to USD $277.50. From my research, a shop would probably charge between
USD $500 and $700 to do this repair.
FYI - there is a class action lawsuit pending against Sanyo for this
issue. The V4 Y-Main (Y-Sustain) Circuit Boards fail VERY frequently in this TV
due to overheating. Hope this helps.
