Yeah, it would help to know what bulb/ballast you have...

That's most likley not going to fix your problem. If the problem IS IN FACT your ballast, a cheap one probably won't be of good quality and thus will not correct the issue. If it's not the ballast, but the bulb, a new ballast is not going to do anything for you.
