I had ordered a UV CCFL tube with dual inverter, and an extra UV CCFL tube from SVC, a couple of weeks ago.
The extra tube only lit up at one end, so I reported the defect. They promptly send me a replacement, but it turned out to be defective too. Reporting it again, they then sent me another tube, this time with another dual inverter.
I had offered to try to repair it, but they said that it wouldn't work.
Well, it does!
CCFL tubes have a thin (steel?) wire coming out from each end. In my case, it was accidentally cut, when they trimmed off the heatshrink.
So after much trial-and-error, I was able to file the end of the tube, drop a small ball of solder on the end, and extend the wire with an extra tiny piece of copper wire.
My next step is to epoxy it into place, because this repair is extremely fragile, but it does work!
So I now have 2 dual inverters, and 4 tubes
SVC was very prompt in answering my e-mails, and very prompt in sending me a replacement: I received all of this over the past two weeks.
