Hi,
i have a "12mm Diffused Thin Digital RGB LED Pixels (Strand of 25) - WS2801" where the last LED is only displaying Green. I dont believe that it is a power issue as the problem occurs if i have 25 or 50 leds running. Any ideas on what could have happend and how i can fix it?

Re: LED Pixel not working properly
Is this running the example 'strandtest' sketch? If so, and if only 24 of 25 (or more) are displaying the right colors, then it's a pretty sure sign the last pixel is defective. Email [email protected] with your order number and a link to this thread, they'll arrange for an exchange.

Blue seems to be working too, just no red. Could you try the strandtest sketch so we could confirm whether it's a hardware or software issue?

Yes the blue led has started to work now but the red is not.
