Flyover
Trying not to screw things up worse
I bought these LED rope lights and they do not work. (They were a discounted item and are not eligible for return.) The lights came with a fuse near the plug, plus a spare. I tried both, no dice.
As you can see in the background in that picture the cable has a large choke/ferrite bead...do those ever cause problems?
I guess one option would be to take the thing to a store that carries this item and actually test it out with another plug section (the plug section connects to the lights at the connection you see on the far left of the picture). Before that, are there any other tests I can do at home? I have a multimeter but don't really know how to use it.
