Hello,
Thank you for the reply,
It’s the eyes across all of my animations.
I have tested all strings in different ports yet still no luck and all cable and LEDs have been checked plus they all worked fine before being installed into the animation .
All the other led strings work fine it’s only the eyes on all of them that don’t work. If I plug the eyes into a port that I know for a fact works I still get the same fault.
I originally had blue eyes had same fault and though it might be a dodgy string so bought a new set of a different colour and still no luck.
Would I need to join the two cables at the end to complete the DC circuit or should I not do that since it’s 3 and 2 core wires on the strings.
Kind Regards
Nathan
sandy123You've not given much detail as to your setup, so much of this will be guesswork, or I'm suggesting things you've already tried.
To check the light String- swap over the string to another channel to see if the lights are still dim. If so, check the end connections/wires for damage. If they light up to full brilliance, then look at the connection to your channel on the controller that they were originally connected to. If they went into a DC Outlet (2.1mm socket), then check the connection of the 'Tail' in your controller. If the connection is good, then try swapping the 'Tail' with a known good one from another channel. If the Light string works now, then you have a dodgy DC outlet 'Tail'.
If there's no difference, then it could be moisture near the MOSFET for that channel.
Hope that helps
Sandy
