So I think I have the older version of this ballast...


its a dual 400 watt ballast and one side has gone out... I took it apart last night to see if its a simple fuse I couldn't make any sense of it.... so I am hoping someone knows how to fix it here?


Or has a extra one I can buy??? I just don't feel like paying 200 bucks to get a new one...


any help?

Look closely at the capacitor on the inside. That is likely your problem. If it is blown or distorted in any way, you can replace it for $20ish.
