Came completely unassembled with no instructions. I took 4 hours to assemble it, and never got it working. Tested LEDs and only about half worked. Not even bothering to test the rest of the components...

emahoneyIf only half of your LEDs worked, you probably got the polarity wrong on half of them. The long lead of each LED goes to the "+" side of the board silkscreen symbol. If they are backwards they won't work. So any dark LEDs just need to be desoldered and flipped around. I can probably help... not sure how to get in touch though.

emahoneyOK, are all of the 0805 surface-mount 1k ballast resistors installed? It's really unusual for LEDs like this to fail right out of the box.

whipsterI desoldered each led and tested them on a breadboard. Unless I somehow misconfigured it in a way half burnt out, they had a 50% failure rate. Either way, Massdrop has refunded me as this clearly is a situation where a vendor tried to pull a fast one on them. So big ups to them.
