LED problems

[Baldguy]

Or probably driver problems. One strip of LED's has stopped lighting. I've wiggled the wires on the driver for that strip and that does nothing. When I tap on the driver they come on for a minute or two then go out again. Gotta be the driver, right? Any help is appreciated. TIA

Probably..pop it open (with it turned off) and look for a cold (cracked) or missing solder joint or something not tight mechanically.

Does it come on for a while if the driver is cold or does it not start up at all? just wondering if it was a heat issue.

[Baldguy]

It does not start up at all. I'll probably order another driver or two. I need a spare anyway in case one does eventually go out. But it seems it must be the driver. We'll see.

Look for a loose wire inside the driver. Happened to me a while back with a different project. Wire was buried deep inside the driver and I darn near broke the casing trying to get the board out to fix it.

relatively fair to say its the driver, but for the heck of it you might as well test the continuity on the strip of LED's too
