    We had exactly that on ours too. The only thing I can add is that just before the lamp went out it would flicker a little then extinguish. Power down and up again and the same scenario. What I did next you should NOT do unless you are very experienced in electronics servicing. After letting the lamp cool I removed it and unscrewed the case (power plug removed obviously). I then found the lamp control PCB and removed it. There are three or four connectors and three screws. After looking over the PCB with a magnifier I noticed some suspect solder joints around the bigger power components. I re-soldered these and re-assembled the unit. As I say, DON'T DO THIS unless you really know your stuff! Anyway, bottom line is it's working again! I can't say for sure which component was to blame.
