LED driver/series failure.

Hello, I barely know anything about electricity.
I own a discontinued California Lightworks Solarstorm 440 LED fixture.
It's barely been used. I went to plug it in. Everything turned on for 3 seconds, then one series of LED emitters shut off.
I believe the fixture uses 4 drivers. One must of failed. They seal up everything with rivets and I don't have a drill for that.
Does this seem like an easy fix?
With me being stoned, I instantly assumed I used the wrong power cord. I'm pretty sure it's the right one though.
Power cord used: APOLLO AP-301 SP-502 10A 125V~
Please don't tell me to upgrade. I have a friend whose insistent on buying my pair even after I recommended better options. I need this cash!

...maybe CLW can repair your fixture...

si esta fuera de garantia...yo la abriria para ver donde esta el fallo...pero yo soy exelectricista....
y ver como son por dentro las luces de cultivo siempre es un placer para mi...
...que drivers lleva...sus conexiones ...sus conectores...sus leds...etc...
...si entiendes como funciona...la podras reparar y tunear...nuevos drivers...nuevos leds...etc...

Unfortunately the warranty is up : (
I have a feeling it will be an easy fix though. The turd in the punchbowl is that they used their "custom drivers". Fuckin' rivets... Not a fan of this company.

It might be a string and not the driver...
Iirc: clw have 3 (or4?) adjustable spectrums, white red and blue: if it was the driver then you'd expect for an entire spectrum to go out, not just a string.

Thanks for your input. There is just just two spectrums. Veg and Bloom. I believe their is four drivers inside the unit. After studying the board it looked to me that there was also 4 strings of circuits so I assumed that each driver was connected to one series and the veg/bloom toggle controlled the output of all of them. Again I'm just brainstorming and appreciate anyone's thoughts. If it is a string, does this mean the soldering failed somewhere? This seems like it would be the harder of the two to fix.

It would mean a failure somewhere in the board, have a look at the diodes in the string and see if one is burnt. Could be a driver as well hard tosay

That bad boy was expensive.

Oh yeah they were way overpriced back in the day! I got a pair used from a friend for real cheap after he got both replaced just before his warranty was up.
