jimswinder Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Just received my CCR's this weekend and started testing each one to make sure they all worked.Well...the very first one out of the box had a section that quit working after I rolled it out. I set it aside and coninued to test the others.After I was done, I tested the first one again...and now no "dead" section.Any idea what would cause this?Can it reset itself in some way?Or perhaps a bad connection and it "reconnected"?Thoughts?

George Simmons Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Funny thing - I'd been wondering how CCRs and/or CCBs and the Winder Curse were going to get along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I connected one of the failed sections to a controller then heated up each connection then tested for repair. This hasn't worked on any of the failed pixels, so I don't think the problem is with bad solder joints.JeffThanks Jeff...In my case it was ALL colors not working in a section, though I don't remember how large that section was but certainly more than the three LED's (maybe as many as 9 or 12)...so initially I had thought that I had perhaps cracked or broke one of the solder joints by accident.I will run it for a longer period tonight and see what happens.
