Yes.
"Bingo !!
Hairdyer 4 mins (to the point at which it became worryingly hot) and its back to life"
"Awesome!!!! That's insane that it actually worked! Thanks for the help!"
"I was not using the hair dryer long enough. 4 - 5 minutes did it.
I am back up and all memmory is good. I used a Conair 1875 watt. "
