HELP MH iceccap ballast stopped working

[adidas]

ok my icecap ballast was working fine yesterday, then my roomie accidently turned it off, then on real fast, it flashed on a sec then went off, now it wont work.

so i opened it to check the fuse, the whole inside is coated with a tar/ rubber substance. How the hell do I find the fuse?? or get it off?

talk about bad timing, i just bought a LTA and i have no light now

please somebody help
