Bone Headed Mistake

Ya, likely a fried ballast. Just make sure that your fixture doesn't have a fuse. It likely doesn't but that would be my first logical step (otherwise you'll get a new ballast, try to make it work, it won't work, you'll spend hours trying to figure it out until you realize it was a F***ing fuse and you'll feel stupid). You can get Fulham Workhorse ballasts for pretty cheap (like $20 - $40) and they are, ummmm, workhorses... they kick ass. You could swap that bugger in a night.
