My DLP bulb shatterd while the tv was on. I pulled the housing and there was some glass in the housing but very little at the base inside the tv. Could the glass have gone in to the Color Wheel??

since last post I now have both the timer and lamp light blinking.

I just replaced the color wheel and when I turn the tv on it is blank and I get the blinking "lamp" light in green. When I try to shut off it try's to restart a couple of times before shutting off.

The lamp exploded but it had been getting dim for sometime. I do plan on keeping it for another 5 or 6 years. The only thing that looks hard is the color wheel.

By the way do you purchase the bulb bare or in a new housing??
