It could be several issues that affect the sign... It could be a burned gto wire going from the transformer to the tube, or it could be a burnt up transformer, or a broken neon tube.
Typically, the neon tube is removed from the sign. If it is a red gas tube, it can be repaired by bending up the missing section, and welding it with fire back together. Then it must be pumped (bombarded)
If the tube is green, blue, white, yellow, or any other color that uses Mercury to aid its light output when originally lit, then great care must be taken. Vaporizing mercury is very toxic to the health of neon workers and this type of tube needs to be made new, with the old tube being properly disposed. I have fixed a few mercury tubes, but I do not advise it to anyone. If the state finds out where mercury tubes are being repaired, they can come close you down if they find loose mercury or contaminated premises, or worse... do something that affects the title to your property!!

What is the difference between an electronic sign and a neon sign?
Neon signs, by definition, must contain the element neon, which glows when an electric current passes through it (although the term is sometimes more broadly applied to signs containing other nobel gasses). An electric sign is simply any sign that requires electricity. The difference between an electronic sign and a neon sign is electric sign requires electricity to function.

Is a glowing neon sign a physical change?
Yes, a glowing neon sign represents a physical change because the neon gas inside the sign undergoes a change in energy state to emit light. This change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the neon gas.
