epson emp5500 lamp timer reset

[manitou]

Hello. I have an old epson emp 5500 with lamp timer over 2000H and thats what is avoiding normal powering up. Every lamp module has an smd fuse rated 0.1Amp. I belive inserting brand new module makes its fuse to blow and after this lamp timer is reseted. My lamp and ballast are working ok but I cant power up the PJ. Please if somebody has ever managed to trick this Pj to reset lamp timer- post a solution. I did it once on emp 7100 after milions of tries and still dont know how.😕 I cant do the same on emp 5500. Thanks in advance.

solder a fine strand of wire on top of the fuse. Insert the lamp and let the wire blow. Alternativelt, the foil paper out of cigarette boxes work well but can give out a little smoke and ouder from burnt paper.
