Samsung rear projection not powering up

I have a Samsung HCL4715W that's not powering up. It operated flawlessly for about 7 years and today it just died. My son was watching when it went out. He said he heard some kind of sizzling noise (keep in mind he's 10) and there was an electrical smell.

Symptons:

 When I plug it in, I can hear a realy or relays clicking on and off for about 10 cycles.

No picture or sound.

LED on front panel labeled "Timer" is always on.

 

I did some searching and in another thread, I saw someone with a similar problem. It was suggested for him to isolate the convergence board by pulling the connector at CN803. When I do this, I get a single relay click and all other symptoms remain the same.

 Any ideas are most appreciated.


Thanks,
