Few pixels dead on Digital RGB LED Pixels strand
I bought a 25 Digital RGB LED Pixels strand a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to turn it on and 3 of the pixels are dead: #25 (the last one), #23, #21. Is there anything I can do to fix this without buying a whole new strand.

What are you using to power the strip? Check the voltage at the end of the strip. Sometimes the voltage drop over the length of the strip can be enough that pixels toward the end will malfunction.3 of the pixels are dead: #25 (the last one), #23, #21.

I'm using the 10 amp supply you guys sell. It's powering this stand and another but should be more than enough

10A should be enough. If you contact [email protected] with a link to this thread we can send a replacement strip.
