I would try a different power bar. Pretty hard for something 2 be wrong with the fixture as they are 2 completely separate wired light systems in it.

I've seen a few similar cases with those fixtures. I don't think you problem is related to your power par, probably just a coincidence. Could be a bad connection or possible a bad ground but it seems obvious to me it's in the fixture.

He moves some plugs around on the Power bar and it's obvious it's in the fixture?

It very well could be, but I fail to see how it is Obvious.

take all the bulbs out and put them all back in. I have had bulb placement/seating problems with T5s before. Good luck.

Also, rotate the order of the bulbs. Could be a bad bulb?
