6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Power connection issue, faulty adapter/controller, or damaged strip. | Check all connections. Ensure power adapter is plugged in. Test with another power source if possible. Verify the strip is not cut incorrectly. |
| Lights won't stay adhered to the wall. | Surface not clean/dry, improper application, or heavy strip. | Clean the surface thoroughly before re-applying. Apply firm, even pressure during installation. Consider using additional clips or stronger adhesive if needed. |
| Colors are inaccurate or some LEDs don't light up. | Loose connection, damaged section of the strip, or controller issue. | Check the connection between the strip and the controller. Inspect the strip for any visible damage or kinks. If a section is faulty, it may require replacement. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi/App. | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (5GHz), Bluetooth off, or incorrect pairing steps. | Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz. Turn on Bluetooth. Follow the app connection steps precisely (Section 3.3). Reset the device by turning it off-on-off-on. |
