Unhappy Maxspect G2 160w LED Ballast Failure

Guys, its been a while. I have a pair of G2 160's and one day the ballast failed. I replaced all the internal fuses and battery and nothing. The other one works great. This is before they had Brian at Fins Reef in NC as a US distributor- mine came from China. Brian is doing his best to get me a replacement under warranty but I am at a loss for light literally. Any of you seen these ballasts fail before or have any way to test the dead ballast? Thanks-

Sorry for reviving an old post but my 14 blu lights aren't working and found out i have a blown fuse, when i removed the board/ module i notice a black spot, like a burnt spot on the white liner under the board.
Where can i get a replacememt fuse. Also who's the distributor for this lights,
Maxspecs s with a led-g2- 400-160w controler.
i might just need to replace the fuse if not the smal board/module. Wonder how much that would cost.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
