Title: Replacing A Bad Pixel
Post by: mmais on June 10, 2019, 08:16:41 AM

I have a string of pixels that has one bad node. Do I replace just that one bad node or do I replace one before & one after?

You should replace the bad pixel and the one before it. The reason for replacing the one before is that it could be a faulty chip that is not passing the data to the next pixel.

Actually when you say one bad node is that the only pixel that is out?  If so you only need to replace that one pixel because the one before it has to be passing data if the one after it is working.

What it is one pixel turns red, green but on blue it is red so I figured it is bad. All the string works but just wrong color on one.

Yep you only need to replace the one bad pixel.  I only replace the one in front if there are issues down the line after the bad pixel.
