The first thing to look at is whether your remote is incompatible with the led strip lights. If so, you may have a faulty infrared sensor or power supply. In some cases, this could mean a faulty keypad or a lack of connection. If you suspect the remote is incompatible with the lights, you can try moving it out of the range of the strip lights or removing the battery to see if it changes colors.

a faulty infrared sensor
If you are wondering if your LED light bulbs have a faulty infrared sensor, you’ve come to the right place. LEDs emit IR light, sometimes unintentionally, due to insufficient doping. If you have a spectrometer, you can measure how much IR light a particular LED produces. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can repair this issue yourself. Beware, though, that doing this could void the warranty of your TV.
First of all, check the infrared sensor for hardware issues. There are some common causes, though none of them are brand-specific. If the IR sensor is a black, shiny dome, the problem may be hardware-related. If it’s not, try cleaning the receiver with rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol can remove dirt that can interfere with the IR signal. Alternatively, you can buy a replacement IR sensor from an online electronics parts supplier.
a faulty power supply
If your LEDs don’t change colors when you use your remote control, you might have a faulty power supply. When you have a faulty power supply, you may experience sudden spikes in voltage, and this can result in light flickering or even your LEDs being defective. Check your power supply, and if it’s not broken, replace it. A faulty power supply can make the remote not work, but don’t worry, it’s quite easy to fix.
The first step in troubleshooting this issue is to test the LED Power Supply. Make sure that it matches the type of load it’s connected to, and check the wires. If they’re not, the power supply may be overheating. If it is, replace it or fix the wiring. You can check the power supply’s polarity by using a multimeter to make sure it’s working properly.
a faulty keypad
You may have noticed that the LEDs on your keyboard are changing colors. The LEDs are set to be RGB enabled. If you notice that the LEDs on your keyboard are not all red, they may be flickering. To fix this problem, follow these steps:
a faulty circuit board
Faulty components are the most common cause of a fried printed circuit board. Even when there is no visible physical damage, the device can still fail to operate or power on. This almost always results from a faulty component. Here are a few ways to check if the faulty component is the culprit. You can also check the trace circuit for damage by using a voltage meter.
The first step in diagnosing the problem is to open the battery compartment of your LED remote. You can do this by pressing on the black tab. If you notice that two of the primary colors are missing, you have a faulty surface-mounted component. Also, a faulty PCB strip around the primary color location may be a sign of damage. These are some common causes of faulty remotes.
