The balast is under the center metal cover between the bulbs. Squeeze the cover and it will come loose.

My light bulb did not work so I bought a new bulb. It ended up being the ballast.

I would open it up and reset the bulb. Dust off the inner connection also. It develops a lot of dust and the connection may not be there.

I'd do this: Buy a replacement battery and try it to see if it works. Eventually you'll need an extra battery anyhow. If it doesn't work, return the light. If it does work, keep it. The time spent returning the item over just a bad battery probably isn't worth the time and effort.

There are basically three components 1) bulb 2) light sensor 3) transformer/ballast. Take a look at the bulb to see if it has any darkness on the glass --- light sensors are somewhat inexpensive and try changing it. The last piece is the transformer/ballast --- normally if the bulb does not light that is a possibility.

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

I had the same problem sent an email to customer service and they sent me a replacement light and ballast.

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

Sorry I can't help you. I returned the motor and ordered an entire new light/fan fixture!

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

Molly, it depends on how old your light is, I just bought this light, I have had my light for about 4 years, it took this series E light, if your light is prior to 2008 or 2009 you may need another light. The little cover over the light pops off, just take a small screwdriver to it on the outside and gently slide it in and towards the light, it comes right out, the light just pops in. Just did this yesterday!! http://www.ottlite.com/p-323-13-watt-replacement-tube-electronic-ballast.aspx

I did the same thing. Just removed old ballast and used existing wire nuts to connect the new one. Very simple process. Just make sure the fixture is unplugged or disconnected.

Both of the ones that I ordered did the same thing. The light did work though. You could have a bad ballast or even a light switch.

I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes). I called a Samsung tech rep and they told me to replace the bulb. I did that and had the same issue. I called Samsung again and they recommended I replaced the ballast, so I bought this and replaced it and still had the same issue. When I called Samsung again, they said I now have to take it to someone for service because the control board had to be replaced. I decided it wasn't worth any more money, so after over $100 in parts and a few hours of my time, my TV ended up in a recycling center. If you have a Samsung DLP, you can look through some online forums and see that this is a common problem with these units. I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes).

Sorry, I tried. I can't find lights that are on. Try putting the part number in google images.
