more help with Samsung

I have tried to read through a lot of posts and fix this myself, but I’m getting frustrated, not to mention broke.  I have a Samsung HLP-5063W.  Have had it for about 4 years.  I was watching TV one night and heard a pop and squealing.  I turned it back on and there was a light picture with no color.  So I figured that since there was still a picture it was just the color wheel.  Took it apart and it was shattered.  Replaced that and it’s perfectly quiet, but no picture at all.  It flashes lamp for a while, shuts off, turns back on a couple times and all 3 lights flash.  According to Samsung, should be the lamp.  Replaced that and still the same thing.  When I plug it in I do get the clicking noise which I assume is the ballast trying to fire the lamp.  So I really don’t know what to do next.  Is it possible that I didn’t put something back together correctly or should I just break down and call an expert in?  Thanks.
