7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power to controller; incorrect connection; faulty LED strip. | Check USB power source. Ensure LED strip is correctly connected to the controller. Test LED strip with another power source if possible. |
| Remote control not responding. | Remote battery is dead or incorrectly installed; remote is too far from controller. | Replace the CR2025 battery, ensuring correct polarity. Move closer to the controller (within 30m). |
| LED strip flickers or behaves erratically. | Insufficient power supply; loose connection; faulty controller. | Ensure USB power source provides stable 5V. Check all connections for tightness. If problem persists, the controller may be faulty. |
| Cannot turn off LED strip completely (only dims). | This controller is designed primarily for dimming and dynamic effects. For complete power cut-off, disconnect the USB power source. | This is a characteristic of some dimmer controllers. To fully turn off, unplug the USB power. |
