  1. hey guys, all hum no light, i think its a burned out bulb, but i want to make sure its not a faulty ballast, its all less than a month old.

    how can i see if the bulb is burnt out, everything seems to be in tact
     
  2. dia whats up all your stuff going to shit on you?
     
  3. If you dont see any physical damage, (burned core) or something, only way to tell that I know of is to replace a part and see what happens.
     
  4. yeah dude, i got no technical/electronic experience. and the main thing is $$ at the moment.. haha oh well. ill get it figured out

    shit was 70$ for a replacement at the ONLY place around here. and in the situation im in i cant wait for shipping. i really need something by tonight at 11 LOL

    fuck
     
  5. Maybe take the bulb to the place and have them plug it into a ballast there? guess that depends on the place.
