Reybeast Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was curious to know how many of you have broken icecap ballasts? Please post how many and what model it is, and I'll total it up. I'm trying to see if icecap will do a "group fix". If one of you would post this same request on Maast, i would appreciate it, I can't post on there since I havnt done the obligatory 100 posts yet. just post once on either site and I'll count them up.

mFrame Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Any idea when you're going to do this? I'm ready to send mine in now and don't want to wait much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 i figured we would have more people with bad units: this was the reply from icecap, so with 5 units I doubt they will give us much break: we could work something out but I would prefer only 1 person send the entire bunch in and provide payment. With say 20 ballasts, we could manage somewhere in the area of $40 - 50 parts and labor per ballast as long as it is repairable. If not we have to charge $85 for a brand new circuit board which makes it a new ballast just reusing the same case. You would have to keep track of each persons ballast by serial number so you know who's ballast has a charge or not and if any are not repairable. For a large lot the turn around may be a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedelgado Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have a dead 660 but I think its still under warranty. I am just too lazy to send her back(again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 they have a date stamp on the bottom, if its under 3yrs old, its covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Their site says it's like $65, and I had heard that they just replaced them rather than repairing because it's cheaper for them. This thread makes it sound like that isn't the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 yeah, his response is what I have recvd from them many times, 65 if they replace parts and 85 if they replace the entire circuit board. Seems that they really do repair these (or someone does it for them). Either way its a 1 yr warranty rather than the 3yr for a new ballast. I was hoping he would do better than 40-50 bucks each, but if they have to replace the board, it doesnt matter if its a group fix or not i guess.
