the colorwheel motor bearings are starting to go. you'll need to replace the colorwheel. you can get the part from a sharp service center and do it yourself or send it to one for repair. either way, try av solutions in ny. they're really good. www.avsolutionsny.com
sometimes dust accumalates on fins of fans and causes rotation to deform and gets fan off balance causing noise .Also heat from lamp causes deformaties on fan and causes fan bearing to make noise.These fans can be replaced fairly easily
Lets go back to the beginning... What were the original symptoms? Was it just the clicking or were the lights on the front of the set flashing too? With the new lamp, is there any thing else other than the clicking? If not, then the problem is likely to be the ballast. The clicking could be the lamp attempting to "fire". With a defective ballast, the lamp won't fire and the set won't come on. If you choose to replace the ballast, DO NOT use the old lamp. It is relatively common for a defective lamp to smoke the ballast under certain conditions. Also, it is possible that the original cause was the ballast that failed and took out the lamp with it.
the bulb may have burst from overheating from a fan not working to cool it down. and it can be replaced. it does take, however, a while to replace it because you have to take half of it apart. but make sure it's the fan first. take the lamp door off and remove the lamp. use something small and thin to push in the switch that the lamp door usually activates. turn the projector on and see if the lamp fan and the colorwheel (the multicolor glass disk) are spinning. if the fan spins, the noise may be from the colorwheel motor going bad. the fan can be purchased through an infocus authorized service center. check the website for the closest one. but the colorwheel for the x1 cannot be purchased seperately from the optical engine, and that costs a fortune. but here is the part number for the 80mm fan- 526-0152-00.
Following up on my Feb 7 post. My new lamp arrived, and I replaced it and it works great. The old lamp had many shards of glass come out of it. It was tore up. I saved some money buy purchasing just the lamp and not the cartridge. It's a little bit more work to take apart, but saves money. Mitsubishi wanted $289 for the lamp replacement kit. I got a lamp for $114. TV is working just fine now!
Color wheel is the noise you are hearing. It can also keep the lamp from firing up if it has seized up. Remove the lamp and inspect it. Replace the color wheel for sure.
