Are you sure that you didn't change the channel number on the controller? If you did, then try changing the channel number back to 1, power off the controller, then back on. then set it back to your new channel.

Looking back at my notes from two years ago, I had that same problem. In my case, the above procedure solved it, yet I am sure there are probably other reasons for that issue.

I also wonder if it isn't due to the low LED loading. Did you try plugging in a string of standard incandescent lights into the same channels to see if they work properly?
