7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED light strip, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power, loose connection, faulty power adapter/controller. | Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into the outlet and the controller. Ensure the 5-pin connector between the strip and controller is firmly connected and aligned. Test the outlet with another device. |
| Remote control not working. | Battery depleted, IR receiver blocked, remote not pointed at receiver. | Replace the remote control battery. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on the controller box. Point the remote directly at the receiver. |
| Colors are incorrect or inconsistent. | Incorrect 5-pin connection, damaged strip segment. | Ensure the 5-pin connector is correctly aligned (arrow to arrow) and fully inserted. If only a segment is affected, that part of the strip may be damaged. |
| Lights flicker or dim unexpectedly. | Unstable power supply, loose connection. | Check all connections for looseness. Ensure the power adapter is not overloaded and is receiving stable power from the outlet. |
