If the RGB strip is broken, you can try the following methods to fix it:

Find the disconnection location: Find the disconnection location by checking the light strip, and then use wire strippers to peel off the double-ended wire to expose the internal wire core.

Connect the wire cores: Connect the disconnected wire cores at both ends. You can use wire connectors or welding tools to connect. Once the connections are made, wrap the connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing to ensure the wires don't short out.

Test the light strip: Connect the connected light strip to the power supply and test whether the light strip is working properly. If the light strip still isn't working properly, further inspection and repair may be needed.

During the repair process, it should be ensured that all operations are performed in a safe environment and comply with relevant electrical safety regulations. If you do not have relevant technical knowledge, it is recommended to find professionals for inspection and repair.

Some reasons that may cause RGB light strips to break:

Circuit failure: If there is a circuit failure in the RGB light strip, such as a disconnection or short circuit, the fault point needs to be found for repair. Normally, wiring faults can be repaired by using wire strippers to connect the wire cores or by replacing the light strips.

Lamp bead failure: The lamp beads of the RGB lamp strip may malfunction, such as lamp beads being damaged or malfunctioning. In this case, the lamp bead needs to be replaced. It is usually necessary to disassemble the lamp strip and find the faulty lamp bead for replacement.

Controller failure: The controller of the RGB light strip may malfunction, such as the controller being damaged or malfunctioning. In this case, the controller needs to be replaced.

Quality of RGB light strip: I purchased a very low-quality product and it broke as soon as I bent it.

Wiring overload or short circuit: Overload or short circuit can cause wires or connectors to burn out, causing the light strip to disconnect. You can check whether the line is normal and solve the short circuit problem.

Excessive bending: Excessive bending of the light strip may cause the circuit to disconnect, causing the middle section of the light strip to not light up. You can try to avoid excessive bending of the light strip.

Lamp bead or circuit board problems: Damage to the lamp bead or circuit board of the light strip may also cause the light strip to disconnect. You can check whether the lamp beads and circuit board of the light strip are normal and replace them.
