I have rope lights. Anyone know how to fix?
I have some rope lights. Two attached together. All of a sudden lights in the middle won't come on and they are not just the middle per say. Weird thing is I have two seperate strings and they both are doing the same thing.
NOW, before you say this, I've checked them everyway I know how, using two different electric connectors even. I've checked and the connectors are showing through process with a electric checker (one end of the connect to the other end of the plug show connection flow.
Is there anyway to fix them? Some work some don't in the string. Thanks.

I know this will seem like a waste, but throw them out.
Rope light is a sealed system with LED running in series with very small connections then encased in plastic, if you try to open it up to try and repair it it will only damage it more.
What's probably happened to yours is they have been crushed or bent at some point in the chain and this has damaged one of the very fine wires or connections and so that is why only that part of the rope does not work but the rest still does.
They are relatively cheap and are designed to be disposable so just get some more.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
