I have a Sony KDL-40V4100, constantly hearing clicking noises

I have a Sony Bravia KDL 40V4100. There is nothing wrong with the TV except I am hearing clicking noises randomly after the TV is turn off (like every 10-5 mins). However, when you turn it on, the clicking noises goes away. Not sure why. It's annoying.

Could be the power board or main board defective, but I suggest you do firmware update first. Go to http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=KDL42V4100&LOC=3#div_pos_30 download the software.

Testimonial: "I will try to update the firmware. Thanks !"

Sony bravia KDL-40V4100 audio and picture cycling on and off

I'd say about the blinking to a black screen would be your cable provider. As for the stripes that means that your board panels can be going bad, you can try updating the firmware of the TV to help but if that doesn't work you're getting very close to full failure on the TV.

Probably the main board. This has a 1 year mfc parts and lobor warr. I would contact Sony for the nearest auth servicer. If you open it you will void the warranty.
