If you can look and see if the arc-tube is trying to fire...a clicking noise from it means the ballast is trying to start it...but the bulb is dead..
I took the bulb out a couple of times and looked it over but it looked like it was just fine but I may have been looking at it wrong and it could be burned out and that's all that's wrong with it. were there certain brands of DLP Projection TVs that were known to be more reliable than others? Just curious.
