URGENT What is this: Siemens component marked with 800 069 O

[bram]

Can anyone help me finding out what the siemens part marked with 800
069 O is? It's located on a power supply PCB, using an Osram VIP 1200
module. The board used to power a discharge bulb in a DLP projector
system (compaq MP1600). Only thing I can see is the marking described
above. I don't know whether it is a fuse or a gas discharge tube, and
I cannot seem to find any related info on the internet or in the
Farnell catalogue.

Please help...

White ceramic part that looks like an overgrown diode? It's a spark gap.
Odds are that's not where the problem lies...check the driver transistors.
