LG or Goldstar 43A10 TV problem

Hello, i have a Goldstar 43A10 rear projection TV, which has stopped working a few days ago. The TV is about 9 years old, and has never had any problems. After searching the internet a bit i think i've found that the TV is either identical, or nearly identical to an LG or even Toschiba version??

We were watching TV, and all of a sudden the picture went very quickly pychedelically black, all within about 1/2 second. Now when we try to turn it on, with the remote or cycle the power button on the back, it seems likes it attempts to turn on, a click occurrs, then a few seconds (3 or 4) go by, and then another click occurrs and it stops, i.e. does not turn on. During this process the red standby light on the front turns off (as if the TV is turning on) and then goes out again, as if the TV went back on standby. I've opened up the unit and can tell that the clicking is occurring on the right side (viewed from the rear of the TV). Looking from the rear into the TV there are seemingly two major circuit boards, one on the right side and one on the left. So, i'm searching for any help or tips on this. Unfortunately as we are living in Germany at this point, finding a proper repair shop for this rather exotic unit is difficult. I wold appreciate any help on this.......
