Mend Sony Power Model Guessing

Sony Trinitron XBR will not power on?

The TV (Model KV-32XBR37...I'm guessing on the "V-3" part, since it's all scratched off there on the back) stopped working right in the middle of watching it. It acted like it shut off on it's own, but when I went to turn it back on...nothing. I pushed the button a few more times, and then it started clicking nonstop. Every time it's plugged in, it clicks (sounds like a relay), but never goes on. There aren't any blinking lights, since I've read that people mention 6 blinks or something. I tried unplugging it for a few days with no results. I guess I should add that it occurred maybe an hour after a thunderstorm came through on an outlet without surge protection (bad idea). I am your typical poor college student who can't afford to get it repaired, so I would like to do it myself. I have worked with basic analog circuitry, and major in electrical engineering (though an underclassman with limited knowledge yet), so I figure I could give it a go, since it's getting tossed anyway. I've read something along the lines of a transistor or cap that needs to be replaced...how would I know what part needs replacing? Anywhere I can get schematics or anything? How would the average TV repairman do it, except without charging myself over 100 bucks just to look at it like I've seen people do?

I have a Trinitron that has been working great,its a 2000 KV-27542. I was watching tv and it just cut off. I got up turned it back on and it cut off again!I looked down and noticed that the stand by timer light is on and blinking on the front of the tv.What can I do to get this tv working again? I do not have the original remote because I've had this tv for over 10 years,but what can I do to keep it on?
Its been working fine until now.

I'm not an expert but try this. With the tv turned "ON" from the front of the set, (With no picture on) press the reset button on the remote, hold it down and press the power on button again at the same time. It didn't work for me but I was told to try that and if it didn't work it would need to be seen by a repairman. I hope it helps you.
