I have an LED strip I purchased off of eBay. It keeps flashing on and off every second or so. I thought maybe a bad driver. They replaced the driver and still the same issue. All of the connections look good. No visible soldering issues. All LEDs flash on and off, there are no diodes that are off permanently.

Any suggestions on what to do? I'm not very savvy electrically so not really sure what the flashing means. Is it possible one of the diodes is bad? How would I know which one? I have spares on hand I could swap out for.

It's 18 3 watt LEDs powered by a 900mA driver with an input of 100-265V and an output of 18-25V

Thanks

No switch just a plug. I just sent it back. It wasn't worth trying to mess with.
