The bulb needs to be replaced and like stated replace starter fuse.

Well maybe not quite that long. I'm not current with the latest trends in lighting.I have always used the basic flourescent bulbs and have rarely had to change them.

Well they tend to blink or flicker when old, so that could be why

besides the above. starter will be a prob on start up. when you turn it on, but the ballast is in there also so replace it, check the bulb for graying/blacking at the end, sign on a cooked/done bulb. and clean the contacts.

Starter or balest is shot, probably the balest if I had to put my money on it though.

One end of the bulb has a greyish ring around it....a replacement is two days away.
