Hey whats up guys,
I admittedly not much of an electronics guys, but I understand the basics and I had a quick (and probably stupid) question.
So I have a party/DJ light thing (the Chauvet DJ Bank) that's just a small bar of LED banks that light up sequentially. One day the blue LEDs just stopped working and I'm wondering if it can be repaired.
So I opened it up and put a circuit tester on the +/- terminals of that bank and nothing.
When I put the circuit tester on the other banks it does light up when that color is lit (so the circuit tester blinks along with the light).
So what does that tell me about the problem? If it was just a matter of replacing that blue LED piece, would the circuit tester still light up, would it still be receiving power?
I imagine it's pretty simple to just order a replacement part for that blue LED piece, but because its not receiving power I'm wondering if that's even the problem (if its something to do with the board I wouldn't even try a repair...)
Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.
