Got an older iMac and when it goes into sleep the screen will make a clicking noise like it is turning off and on repeatedly. The power light will be lit and dim accordingly.
Can't say I ever really worked with Imacs, or macs in any other shape, but here is a guess
Is the power / sleep button stuck in making it reset on itself, hence making the monitor power on/off really quick?.

See this handle? That's a great feature, because then you can use it as a ****ING BOAT ANCHOR!

I once had a slightly similar problem with a cheapo 14" monitor. After installing Linux (Yggdrasil) and X-windows (I played safe and said 640x480), when X-windows loaded, the screen flashed bright white, and then made a loud click-noise (power light blinked along with the clicks). The store said it was stuck in powersave (it didn't respond to anything, just kept clicking - even after unplugging), but the monitor didn't support this . Turns out some fuses internally had blown.
Could you problem have something to do with worn out internal components ?
