How do I repair my damaged LED strip lights? Dry solder joint repair

We often get asked how to repair your LED strip lights. Well, there are a number of ways to repair your LED strip lights and a number of reasons for them being faulty.
In this video we take a look at an LED strip that is faulty due to a 'dry solder joint' or otherwise known as a loose or bad connection.
The solder is not connecting as it should for the green LED lights so any lights after this bad connection are not working.
In this video we show how to resolve this issue with solder, which is the best solution to resolve this issue, BUT we ubderstand that not everyone can solder / has the solder equipment to hand / can remove the strip from its location etc etc etc
So in that case you may need to use connectors instead. These are solderless connectors where you can cut the LED strip and attached leads, join peices etc etc with the connectors

I don’t have the iron so I just pressed down on every joint in the leds until I found the one that wasn’t working and after one touch it went back to normal 😁 I didn’t do anything with my leds tho when I turned it on in the night it was glitched so if you guys did anything crazy with it this method might not work

I was putting my led strips up and every 30 minutes i was turning it on to check to see if it worked and how it looks for a few seconds, then at one point the lights got twisted so much and when i tried to turn it on after the whole thing isn’t working anymore

[rbcubgq]

It was too difficult for me to do this, so l cut it carefully and i kept the small piece that was working and i recycled the other one that was off.I put the small piece that i got in a corner to give some lighting.Next week i will get a new one and be more carefull this time
