I'd check the multimeter to trace where the break is. They are always handy to keep around.

Sadly don’t have one on hand unfortunately

Series:

Series connection is only 1 jumper attached between the boards, not 2. I'm not sure what boards or configuration that you are running that's why I wondered if series or parallel was the goal.

My HLG kits run as series circuits

I’ve been running these exact boards for 2 years lol. I hooked them up how they’ve been hooked up.

any thoughts as to why?

Do you mean you screwed the boards back on the heatsink after having them off it?
What driver are you using? Is it parallel wiring?
Have you got the neg - on one board coñected to + on other maybe?

The screws could be causing a bad connection, do you have rubber washers keeping the bolts raised from the terminal?

I dont know how to take a screenshot on winblows. but it looks like you indeed have the positive connected to the negative. rotate that board on the left 180

Yes I sealed the panels back on their original heat sinks because I mixed the boards up well over a year ago. Here’s some pics of my other boards which I never swapped back yet and they are working just fine still. And picture of my driver

I never colour coded the wires correct when doing all these pictures. My bad I see where you think it’s wrong now.

Headed to Home Depot now to grab some wire. Wish me luck I don’t get the corona

Fuck me you‘re right man. I had the boards the wrong god damn way ugh.

stoner ass shouldn’t get high first thing in the morning and take on projects.

@Snob is correct. You wired the boards in series.

Ctrl + Prnt Scrn then open paint and file-paste. Crop what you want. Save- name your file.
