Ремонт диодной гирлянды, оторваны провода от коробка переключения режимов, куда паять.

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on repairing a LED garland with broken wires connected to the mode switching box. Whether you're dealing with non-functioning lights or frayed connections, this guide will help you troubleshoot and fix the issue effectively.

Step 1: Gather Required Tools

Before starting the repair, ensure you have the following tools:

• Soldering iron
• Multimeter (tester)
• Wire cutters/strippers
• Electrical tape or heat shrink tubing

Step 2: Identify the Damage

• Examine the garland and locate the area where the wires have been disconnected from the mode switching box.
• Use the multimeter to check for continuity in the wires. If the lights are not working, it may be due to a broken wire.
• If a LED bulb is not lighting up, refer to additional resources for finding burnt-out bulbs:

  • Identifying broken wires

Step 3: Prepare the Wires

• If the wires are frayed, use wire cutters to trim them back to a clean point.
• Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from the ends of each wire to expose the copper.

Step 4: Solder the Wires

• Heat the soldering iron and apply solder to the exposed wire ends.
• Twist the corresponding wires together (e.g., red to red, black to black) before soldering for a secure connection.
• Once soldered, ensure the joint is smooth and free of excess solder.

Step 5: Insulate the Connections

• Use electrical tape or heat shrink tubing to cover the soldered connections. This prevents short circuits and protects the wires from moisture and abrasion.

Step 6: Test the Garland

• Plug in the garland to test if the lights function properly after the repair.
• If some sections are still not lighting up, recheck the connections and ensure all wires are correctly soldered.

Conclusion

Repairing a LED garland can be straightforward with the right tools and techniques. Remember to always ensure your workspace is safe and that you have disconnected power before working on electrical components. If issues persist after your repair, consider checking for other potential problems such as burnt-out bulbs or internal circuit issues. Happy repairing!
