Now we slide it out... make sure there are no cables attached.
**Normally the ballast has 2 connections to the digital board and power supply. The third connector goes to the lamp. Connector 1 powers the ballast, while connector 2 gives opperation instructions to the ballast. |

We make sure none of the cabling of the digital board was pinched or mis-routed before we continue... |

Plug the small connector back in. There should be a slight click feel when it snaps into place. |
![Samsung Ballast BP47-00033A](bp47-00033a/bp47-00033a_Samsung_Ballast_BP47-00033A_For_Sale_San_Diego_619-710-2637_x203_849_th.jpg)
