Default Fan busted on coralife fixture

I have a 48" coralife compact fluorescent fixture, and one of the fans has apparently ceased to function.

Is there anything I can do or somewhere I can bring it for fixin up?

Thanks!
Zoe

Under warranty? If so, Call Coralife! They have great customer service and will help you.

If not under warranty you can often find a LFS that knows how to take these things apart and replace the fan(s).

If fan does go, its very simply to replace with one from radio shack done it few times, its just two wires that u rewire together (postive/negative).

I agree with that but from the initial post I took it to say that the owner didn't want to DIY.
