Repairing a fluorescent lamp

My fluorescent lamp  was flickering time to time until stopped working at all. I guessed was the supply of 220Vac and since it is not vacuum closed, I decided to fix it, even though it is not worth doing it price-wise. 

I am in no way responsible for what you do with this information. This instructable is for information reason only and should not be use otherwise.

Step 1 Open the fluorescent lamp

Globe is plastic and I had to be cautious not to break the lamp, which contains mercury among others (dangerous for health).

Measuring the base of the lamp  with the board for continuity, it was showing that only the central of the base was attached, while the neutral not. (I used multimeter).
I desoldered from the board the wire that was still attached to the base where the 220Vac was supplied.
