That bulb is bad. Note the melted blob on the burner (the little round ball at the bottom of the glass stem in the center). If the bulb ever does fire up it wont last long before "POP!"
I have seen color wheels shatter on these, as well as make more noise than a garbage truck, and also have seen one with siezed bearings. Fans go bad too. A bulb might get yours running but it's a crap-shoot as for how long it'll keep running. Might be only days, you may get a couple years out of it. Whatever you do, DO NOT use one of the cheap, $30 bulbs they sell online. You'll regret it.
