Default H.I.D. Philips ballast broken?

I figured I would post here since I don't know where else to post. Yesterday it seems like my ballast went out. I checked all the bulbs and they look fine. I don't hear a humming from it anymore like I do on the other side. Is my assumption correct? Is there any place I can take it to find out of it really is toast?

Swap your ballasts side to side, then you will unequivocally know for sure.

all the bulbs are working and none of the fuses are blown. i am at this point assuming it is toast just due to the fact there isn't a hum anymore. can these ballast be rebuilt? as projectpsi said, these aren't cheap and I don't have an extra 150 laying around.
