My Yamaha receiver HTR 5730 was lying dormant (and unplugged) for a
month while I was away. When I came back and powered it on, pressing
the standby/on button makes the receiver do a clicking/ticking sound
and it does not turn on.

I tried searching for this phenomena, but couldnt find any help online.
Can anyone suggest something?

This is not a normal type failure. Tell me more about the clicking. How
fast? Once per second? Machine-gun clicking?

Are you a technician, or do you have some technical qualifications? If not,
troubleshooting this will be beyond your capability (no offense intended).

Check your speaker connections and make sure there is no short- circuit

All speaker connections are unplugged...and the clicking sound is more
than once per second.
And yep, Im just a simple end-user, so Im already looking at new
receivers. But would be great to rescue this one.

If it's just one click, he could check for shorted speaker leads.

I have seen a bad microprocessor cause this - the relay turn-on line from
the micro would just start hammering as soon as the power button was
pressed. Unlikely to be a practical fix considering the lower cost of the
5730, parts and labor would run over 100.00, and of course my "diagnosis" is
tentative at best.

Have you looked to make sure the power cord is in good shape and plugged
into a good outlet ? Move it to another outlet and plug it in, try it.
Maybe your plug strip sic is messed up. If that doesn't work .. smack it
good!!

Or better yet, ask for advice from somebody who isn't a blithering idiot.

The sci.electronic.repair FAQ is a good start.

Disconnect the speakers. If the clicking continues, the receiver needs
repair. If the clicking stops. Check for short circuits in the speaker
wire -- bare wire should not be able to touch ANYTHING except the
proper speaker wire terminal.

Unfortunately, the 5730 was a lower-end Yamaha, in the 129.00 retail price
class, several years old now and not worth a serious repair effort, except
if saving it from the landfill is important to you.

Pretty close to what I had said, I believe. Anyway, according to the service
manual, the 5730 is mostly lead-free. One side of one circuit board (the DSP
board component side) does contain lead however. Then there are all those
capacitors. God knows what's inside those... Sanyo, Nichicon and the others
have gone to more eco-friendly formulations, but this was not the case when
the 5730 was made.
The HTR-5730 was still a decent receiver, even given it's size and ratings.
Doesn't sound like all that straightforward a problem, though. We're headed
toward the microprocessor possibly being bad. Yamaha has had a problem
sometimes with the power relay itself, also the memory backup cap used on
some models has been known to leak and cause unusual symptoms.
