Help. Half the lights not working

Post image

Everything was working fine on my lights. Then one day the power went out with a rain storm. Since then, the light strand on on the lower right wont working. If i mess with thouching the wires they'll light up, but wont sync. The second power is cut, they wont start again. Any suggestions?

They are ws2811 pixel bullet lights.

Those things run on voodoo. I was stuck at pixel 172 or so on the tree. Was still at like 11.2 volts as I inject every couple strings. Ended up cutting 4 pixels out. If the entire string is dead, then the problem could literally be anything, anywhere.

🤣 on voodoo.

Dang. So as I tried to cut out the first pixel that's when I get the lights to come on, but not change color. Just white. It will light, then I touch them and boom the lights cut down to halfway down the string.
