723316 2008-11-27 01:05:00 whilst taking my PC to my other house my two 30cm cold cathode lights broke.

the top one only lights up half way and the bottom one lights up about a quarter.


i cracked open my case and unplugged the top one and then the bottom one lit up a bit more. so i gave the bottom light a light tap and now both of them wont work.


now my question is how easily do CC tubes break? is it more likely that the inverter is broken or were the tubes broken and i simply sealed the deal by tapping the bottom light?

723317 2008-11-27 01:28:00 They are way too fragile. Use other types of case lighting instead. pctek (84)
723318 2008-11-27 02:39:00 so it is likely that the actual cathodes broke and not the inverter?


what other type of case lighting is there avaliable?

723320 2008-11-27 05:15:00 all of these case lighting above are not what im looking for, i want something similar to cathodes but less fragile eg. 2 30cm tubes that light up, im not looking for UV reactive stuff or fan lighting i need some tube lighting.

thanks for the help so far though :)

723321 2008-11-28 11:36:00 any alternatives to cathodes that are similar but reliable? calebcc (13939)
723322 2008-11-28 18:27:00 The only other thing are these:
