This is an older model projection tv that uses a bulb to generate the light for the screen. It's normal that the bulb wears out after all these years - it should have been replaced before complete failure. If the inverter/ballast board (the one that powers the bulb) has been fried when it failed it's normal that the tv refuses to turn on - if it would do that the damage would become a lot greater.
Now the damage is done. To fix it the tv must be opened and the boards, starting with the power source and the inverter ones, tested. This is something only an experienced repairman can do, you will have to find and call one . It will be expensive, around $750 , or even more if you were unlucky and some other board was fried when the bulb failed. You now have to decide it the tv is worth all this money or you just cut your loses and buy a new one.
