So, I figured out the real problem. Until I pulled the base apart to clean it, I hadn't realized that the fans aren't even spinning. They're not full of much dust, and they still spin freely. However, the controller board is not putting out any power over thise connectors. Now, I'm thinking that...

As of now, because of other events going on, I haven't been able to find a new ballast and install it. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to purchase a new one and get it installed. For now, we don't use the technospots enough that it's a huge problem.
