Hello frankfort16.
There is a very high possibility that you just need to replace your lamp. A very common sign that you need a new lamp is when your picture is getting dimmer & dimmer, after some time only the sound remains. Another possible cause could be the ballast, but I highly doubt it, first focus on discarding the lamp by replacing it.
Here is a post that describes that in more detail.

Hello again frankfort16.
First of all, is your lamp older than 2 or 3 years? If yes, then it’s more than obvious that you need a new lamp, regardless if the problem is not the lamp. Plus it’s the easiest & cheapest part to replace then any other.
Good luck.
