I need help from any JBJ owners/ tinkerers out there. I have a 48" JBJ Formosa that I bought about 6 months ago, and I noticed just a couple of days ago that one bank of lights (the bank NOT connected to the cooling fans) does not work. I checked to see if maybe the bulbs were burnt out, but they're fine. I'm guessing (a very UNEDUCATED guess) that maybe the starter (and/or ballast, if not the same thing) might have burnt out. Has this happened before to anyone? Can anyone tell me if I can fix it myself? Or should I return it to the store I bought it from about 6 months ago?
Please help~!
Much thanks in advance!

I ended up taking the light over to them in Inglewood (only about a 1/2 hr. drive for me), left it with them for two days, and picked back up, fixed. The repair would have cost me $55, but it was under warranty still, so I didn't have to pay for it. I'm happy with their service. However, I'm a little concerned that a ballast would burn out only 6 months after purchase.
