On Philips DLPs, it's almost always the bulb or the color wheel. They actually aren't all that bad for a DLP. Be thankful it isn't a Sony.
If you get it going and don't like it, maybe you could sell the light engine on ebay. That's what I used to do with DLPs that had broken mirrors or lenses (screens). I don't know if they still sell, but they did about 5 years ago when I was listing them.

I'll take a look at the color wheel, and see if its in good shape yet or not.
I'll also take a look at the bulb again and see if its burned out or not.
