If it is 2 months old, it shouldnt cost you a penny to fix. It should be under warranty.

What makes you think it is the ballast and not the bulb? It is pretty unusual for a ballast to die in 2 months.

What bulb and ballast are you running? Is the bulb coming on at all? Flickering? Coming on but is dim?
