Hi,

Well, I had it apart so I went ahead and tried the heating process on the
lamp.  I don't see any splattering on the lamp at all of purple material,
but I added some masking tape to the threads and put it in a drill to rotate
it.  I hit it with a hot air station at 350 deg C and rotated it for 60-90
seconds or so.  The end result is a lamp that went from 3.5V to 3.7V.

Did I do it long enough or hot enough?  The repair guide I saw said
something about a hot air gun and those can be 300-600 deg C...

Thanks,

Alan
