It's probably an easy fix. Either some of the wiring probably came loose or one of the transformers went bad.

Im guessing the transformer(s), because its been on my wall turned on for the last few months (untouched).

I have bought a couple of neons and have had nothing but trouble with them. Both were China specials. One is an Old Style beer sign the other an 'open' sign. Both bought on ebay. They both take 1-10 chain pulls before they finally come on. The transformers or starters or whatevers in these things are not great. The first open sign I had died within 8 months. It wouldn't start no matter what I did.
 
The sign shop I had the TRON neons fixed at said he would not run these 24hrs a day as the transformers are not very heavy duty. Occasional use is fine but not long term.

He did say that the ones he make you could leave on indefinately for a long time :)
 
Care to give a little free advertising for him ?

If I end up using custom neon signs, I'd like to get them from someone with that level of service.

thanks.

I run the 9 I got from Gu 24/7 and they've been fine.

His email address is [email protected] and he is very easy to work with making all sorts of custom neon. He's had a few KLOV eBay auctions but last I talked with him he's getting his own website together.

Here's the last video I took of our basement... all the neon is from Mr. Gu. :)
