The TV shut off while watching. The green light flashes for a minute, then stops. TV turns on and off, but has no picture or sound. A clicking noise comes from the TV periodically. System Restore does nothing. Any ideas?

First incident happened today. TV powers up, sound comes on and after a minute shuts down. No picture. Pulled lamp cartridge and found the small vent clogged. Blew it out. No other visible signs of burn-out. No lamp indicator lights on as described in "Trouble Shooting" manuals, no "Air Circulation" messages came on. I understand that it could be a) a lamp, b) a ballast or c) a leeking capacitor? Any "best practices" for trying to diagnosis this rather than throw parts at it. I understand that this is a common problem and there is a class-action suite in the works. I'd rather not spend another $500 bucks in parts on a TV thats already junk.
