Mitsubishi WD-52631 Lamp gone?

 Larry,

You were great help on decoding problems with balast on a Toshiba DLP projection Tv.  The company made several calls, replaced the lamp and finally decided it was the balast which we told them was the problem from the beginning. They were unable to get a balast from Toshiba so the company we bought the tv from gave us our money back  and we got a Mitsibishi WD-52631 to replace it in 2-07.  Worked great until today. 

We turned it on and a solid green light came on for 20-30 seconds then went to red. No picture - no change in light color from red.  It is making sounds like it wants to start.  Cylces thru the sounds then stillness.  Solid red light stays on.  According to the manual this means the lamp is a goner.  How long should a lamp last?  Your expert advice is needed!!

Thanks
