Ok I think I found another fakey.
A CFL burned out on me so I opened it... found the tube had both heaters open (weird!!!). Trash time.
Then I looked at the driver board. I found two 13003 transistors... they're TO-92! Aren't they supposed to be TO126? And yes, the 13003s appear to be OC....
Oh well, I guess nothing to salvage from this CFL. At $0.50, it's no wonder they cheaped out as much as possible.
Pictures, when I get a chance...
