Tek t5 light

[thirty6]

My tek light flickered the other day and now only 2 of 6 bulbs are working. Are the other 4 shot? Anyone else have similar thing happen to them
I planned on upgrading but this is kinda quick
Appreciate any insight

Ps. Working= they light up,when I try other 4 it flickers but wont light up

That happened to my 8 bulb fixture. I thought it was the ballast bit I fixed it Fonzi style lol. I smacked it and they all came on. It's been working for 6 months since. Good luck with yours man

Lol, fonzi style!
Most likely a ballast issue.

ill give it a whack!
if the beatdown doesnt work, is fixing the ballast a difficult tast for the diy challenged?
