Alright man, did some more trouble shooting as it wasn't making sense to me that if that part were shot I shouldn't be getting any lights right? Well I don't really know for sure but it didn't feel right...

Anyhow looks like the connections to the other power supplies or the power supplies themselves, there are 4, are toast. When I jiggled the connection on 2 of the power supplies it fired up two more strips that promptly went out when I released pressure.

I don't know man, I feel in over my head on this one, so I'm going to hand it off to a buddy I have who is good at this stuff and see if he can fire her up again...

Would suggest posting your driver and light under indoor/led maybe one of the LED gurus there could hook you up with the info you need not sure that they hang here with us lol

Yeah, sounds like you just got connection/wiring issues going on. Pretty easy to fix.

FWIW, this is why I don't use connectors in my DIY stuff. Everything is soldered and heatshrinked.
