I don't suppose anyone has a clue what goes wrong with these things?

At first I though it would have just had a bulb/bulbs in there but it appears to have what must be a flourescent tube instead as there's a transformer which must drive it :confused:

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

I tried to get to the tube but I was afraid of breaking the perspex front to the panel.

Shaun,

 

It'll be an EL panel.

Oh I see, so in that case it's probably the EL inverter (the thing I called a transformer) that is knackered. Oh bugger!

 

Don't suppose you know how many volts A.C. it's supposed to give out?

mine has gone as well, we thought it was the relay that went, but we cant get another relay the some 2 try and swop it , we have been looking at this web page http://www.beingseen.com/qwikpics3.html:dance: :rofl:

Not massively cheap but at the same time not too bad...

my inverter melted after a couple of days.

Ive been thinking of buying the inverter from RS spares as it should work.
