Quick fix to stop cheap china made LED string lights from blinking

I bought a set of cheap led lights from an online site and when I plugged them in, they looked nice but I hated how they kept blinking all of the time and there was no way to keep them from changing modes every time they are powered on. I found a fix on how to make these lights stay on all the time and only takes a soldering iron and glue gun. With this fix you do lose the multi function options but the lights won’t blink and drive you nuts. Here is a video on how to do that.

Thank you, they drive me crazy each day having to keep pressing for the right mode. 😃

Great video... Helped me a lot. Thanks.

Thanks! Now I don’t have to swear every time I flip my light switch on and those little buggers start blinking. My rage is gone. Thanks DavisTech!

PCR 406 are Thyristors, in fact is a Sensitive Gate Thyristor, not a Transistor. And the way to fix it, its just replacing the Thyristor's line that is not working. Simple as that, and it will blinks again!!

OMG I just did this and worked !!! The lights are now not blinking !! Thanks for this amazing video !!!

[@cayennelee]

Exactly what I was looking to do. Thank you so much - it worked perfectly!

[@DanJack23o5]

Wow, worked great!
Thank you very much!

Great fix!

Made my girlfriend very happy. Thank you.

[@user-ev3zi3lm1m]

you can conect them straith to mains

[@TamoJit]

Thanks, It worked perfectly.. God bless you,

[@davistech]

No problem.

[@ahmadmalkawi7621]

OMG thanks so much that's a relief

[@davistech]

No problem.

I have the new type of pcb which do not have the big transistors, any idea how to do it?

[@77slyster]

I have several strings of lights just like this. They won't turn on. I tried doing what you showed in the video in hopes it would fix the problem. It didn't.
Can you tell me how to repair a string like this that doesn't turn on at all?
Thank you

Thyristors , not transistors ! What a shitty soldering ...

[@aliarminpour7268]

Is it possible to bypass the board an connect it directly?

[@scott2394]

I like the video. But I have no idea what you're talking about. How did you know bridging would stop the blicking? How did you know which wire to solder?
I guess this is more of an intermediate or "advanced" tutorial.

[@davistech]

Honestly, I had no clue. I just messed around on the board (carefully) until I found that the blinking circuit stopped.

[@ronydias2257]

The series I have doesn't have the transistors

[@rotten-Z]

Isn't it cheaper to use one long LED strip with a simple driver than to use many of these flashing ones?

[@user-dl4dn5th3c]

I just remove the controller all together and reconnect the wires ,simple,same result ,but only on low voltage lights I would never buy those full voltage lights unless you want to electrocute yourself , too dangerous to use here in Australia our electricity runs on 240 volts and those wires are way too thin,

[@geoffroyramier434]

Hi ! Can you help me with this model ? That will be handsome ! :)

[@geoffroyramier434]

Its a picture of my led lighting

[@geoffroyramier434]

I try without the command but only one led on two works. I think i need to change something in the circuit but dont know what... I Will be grateful for your help :)

[@EvolMate]

Well, with this fix the led lights work for a while (several days) and then just stop working :

[@ruayfe7342]

But i like the modes
Who agree
