Hello to everyone, it has been a while since I've been on the board. I am still loving my axioms -- the novelty has never worn off!

I have a question to anyone who has had to replace a lamp bulb in an LCD projector. My projector makes a clicking noise when I turn it on, and the lamp does not come on. I'm sure that I am way over my "lamp hours," but I'm not sure why "a bad Lamp" would make a noise. I am not whiz when it comes to electronics. Could someone shed some light on this for me (no pun intended). Comments, thoughts, and snide remarks are welcome.
