Pixie 16 problem

I have a mega tree with 16 strips of 100. Problem I’m having is 3/4 of the strings are coming in white and will stay on. Even after the sequence has ended. I have checked all the settings. Even installed the jumper for pixels. Is my pixie 16 board damaged ?

Do you mean that 3/4 of each of all 16 strings, or 3/4 of the strings (i.e. 12) are all white?  That seems odd.

What kind of strings?

12 of them are all white They are the common Chinese bullet style WS2811 pixels. Right now I have the controller plugged in and connected to the comm listener. All the strips are off but send a sequence to the controller and they come on white and stay on even after the sequence has ended.

If you move strips around,  does the white strips follow the physical strips or the port that the are plugged into?

No, I mean if for example, if strips 1-12 are white and 13-16 are OK.  If you swap the plug between strings 12 and 13, does the problem stay with the port on the Pixie or does the problem stay with the strip of pixels.  That determines if it is a controller issue of a pixel problem.

Ok. I’m checking the strips. I have a sequence running to test the tree. They all were white until I unplugged each connector to the board and plugged it back in. Now they are working fine. I’m assuming I have a bad pixie
