LED Failure! PLEASE HELP!

Alright man, did some more trouble shooting as it wasn't making sense to me that if that part were shot I shouldn't be getting any lights right? Well I don't really know for sure but it didn't feel right...

Anyhow looks like the connections to the other power supplies or the power supplies themselves, there are 4, are toast. When I jiggled the connection on 2 of the power supplies it fired up two more strips that promptly went out when I released pressure.

I don't know man, I feel in over my head on this one, so I'm going to hand it off to a buddy I have who is good at this stuff and see if he can fire her up again...

Yeah, sounds like you just got connection/wiring issues going on. Pretty easy to fix.

FWIW, this is why I don't use connectors in my DIY stuff. Everything is soldered and heatshrinked.
