I am so annoyed. The ballast in my sunpod 250w just went out. The bulb is about 3 weeks old, and was working perfectly yesterday.

I was messing with the sunpod seeing if I could take out the point of sale fans it came with and replace them yesterday, so I touched the wiring a little, but I highly doubt that's it. When I turn it on, I can see a tiny bit of light moving around in the bulb, but not nearly enough to light up anything. Is this the ballast?
 
Not sure if that is a magnetic ballast or not, but from what you say, it sounds like it may be the capacitor. Why dont you check with Current. They usually have good customer service - [email protected]
