Hey guys, this definitely feels like a dumb questions, but I need a little help 
I have a ViewSonic Pro8200 that I've had for about 2.5 years. Back in December the bulb popped. Opened it up and it was clear the bulb was gone, there were glass pieces everywhere etc etc. Order a new replacement bulb and things have been fine for the past 2 months, until last night, when the picture just went out. I turn the projector on and hear the color wheel (dlp projector) spin up, but the lamp doesn't turn on. I took the lamp out and it looks pretty much like it did when I put it in. My first thought was I got a bad lamp from Amazon, but before I order a replacement Im wondering if there's any way of knowing if it actually is the lamp, or something else. I assume the bulb doesn't always blow when it goes out, so beyond the broken glass I'm not sure what (if anything) to look for.
Thanks!
