Rayr18 April 15, 2017 Share April 15, 2017 Hello Everyone, I have an 8 bulb ATI T5 that needs some TLC.. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this fixed? It needs a new power cord and the fans aren't running.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds April 15, 2017 Share April 15, 2017 YouTube has excellent videos for how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle&amy April 15, 2017 Share April 15, 2017 Like Eric said, YouTube and you will see how to do just about anything you need to do. The fans are very easy and cheap to replace (they may be just stuck) and ballast and power cords are also not very hard just make sure you follow the directions and have a little patience!!

khalid April 18, 2017 Share April 18, 2017 replacing the power cord is easy I had to do it a few years back when my reefkeeper decided to go nuts and fry the end of one of the cords. You can get the replacement cords from Home Depot or Lowes. You will take the unit apart, disconnect the current power cords, and attach the new cords. If I recall correctly the wires are connected to the unit with the twist type of connectors. As for the fan, I never had to do work on those so I can't help there unfortunately.

YHSublime April 18, 2017 Share April 18, 2017 Fans are easy, you can order the parts from ATI directly, or you can reach out to a local vendor to help you source them. Hardest thing about getting the lights apart are the small torx key you'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what youtube vids you have seen, but here is a good channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ATINorthAmericaTV/videos Depending if you have the sunpower or powermodule will depend how easy it will be. Fitting the cords and ballasts into the powermodule is extremely SNUG! They barely fit... I would say if you can post some pictures of what you are working with you will probably get some more insightful input. Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
