e-waste is a big world wide problem Maurice. I hope you have plenty of storage space for your recovered components. Don't make the mistake of burying yourself in it though :-). Roger

Where is your Repair Cafe Brian? There are not too many around, but it can be very rewarding and helps keep your skills sharp. Roger.

Smoke Test - Apply power and see if any components release their captured smoke 🙂

I've also helped at a repair cafe and it's really fun to do. Educational, meet new people and you also help other people and the environment. In this case the ballast just looks like one from a standard cfl lamp. In many places in the Netherlands and Belgium, such as supermarkets and shops that sell electronics, you have special waste bins for defective LED and CFL lamps, for defective electrical appliances (e-waste) and empty batteries and accumulators for recycling. No idea how it is in other countries. But next time you could get defective cfl lamps for components to reuse. I've been doing that since I was young 😉 I didn't have (and still don't) have a lot of money so reusing and repairing e-waste is a lot of fun. And because of that I can have a lot of nice electronics that I normally can't afford. I have found a lot of nice electronics and repaired things from these e-waste bins. I think that 80 percent of my electronics at my house, but also at my mom and brother's house, are electronics that I have repaired.
