Hey all,
Was recently adding some ducting to my grow room for a carbon filter when i stupidly lent against the power cord on my ballast pulling out the output side connection but was still receiving an input from the main, few seconds later there was a poping zapping kind of noise just a once off pop like a fuse blowing i pulled the mains power from it let it sit for a bit then reconnected it but nothing..wont power up my light or its internal fan...just wondering, more hoping, if there is an internal fuse inside my ballast that could of blown and i could replace...any info would be much appreciated as im down a light now and it was a $200 ballast...cheers :)

if it is digital, look where the plug goes into the ballasts, should be a little door with a fuse inside.
