I'm having trouble with one of the NeoPixel 8 RGB LED strips I recently received. The first pixel is not lighting up. Upon further inspection I saw that one of the surface mount components near the dead pixel is not properly attached to the circuit board. I tried reflowing with heat gun, but it seems the led is burnt out, at least it looks discolored compared to the others on the strip. The other 7 leds do light just fine and are contiguous (no gap in addresses from code for the burnt led)
I sent a request to [email protected] for a replacement and they directed me here. Pretty sure there is nothing to be done to fix, I think it's fried...
