Hi,
I just bought two neopixel sticks. soldered pins on the input side and connected to arduino one by one(DIN to pin6, power to +5 and gnd to gnd). First stick works fine. Second stick got hot, and burning electronics smell in couple seconds. I think this stick is defective. Soldering is correct and wiring is correct.
attached are the pictures.
please advice on how to get it replaced.
thx

Oh man, that's never good, so sorry. Email [email protected] with a link to this thread, we'll have a replacement out ASAP.
Are things still working OK with the other stick?

yup having lots of fun with the other stick.
plan is to build a 16NeoPixel LED POV by combining two sticks.
thanks very much for quick reply.
