JBJ nano-cube 6 light problem

It's been a VERY long time since I have been here and this question may be more appropriate elsewhere.

I took my nano-cube out after being shelved for a few years and the lights don't work. I replaced the bulb and still nothing. I checked the fuse and it seems fine. My electric tester confirms power at the socket for the bulb(4-pin). Could this be a ballast issue? The LED's don't come on either.

There is no corrosion and everything seems fine, just no lighting whatsoever and the fans don't come on either. I am totally stumped.
 
Update:

While trying to remove the stainless reflector with mounted LED's, I unscrewed the 2 screws on either side of the LED's and heard something small fall inside. I couldn't see where they fell though. I tightened the screws but they now just spin.

When I snapped the bulb back in place it flickered. When I put it all back together and closed the hood the lights and fans came on but the fans make an annoying hum. For fear of burning them out I turned the light off.

Time for a new cube.
 
I'm sure you can easily find replacements fans on Amazon or such. Shoot, for what you'll spend on a new cube you can easily find a whole LED kit which will.include fans and be an upgrade.
