hi, my name is chris. i have recently placed a set of 2 300mm blue cold cathode lighting rods in my computer.
relatively simple installation. the rods have been in storage for about 2 - 3 years. this is the first time i have used them.
The first rod is placed horizontally. The second is placed Vertically.
my problem:- At first they are antastic. But after about 5-10 minutes there are spiralling pulses from the base (where the wires attach) all the way to the end. Only one way. If i switch the Rods off then on whilst the computer is still on the rods are normal again.
can anybody give me some advice?
