    Work with one piece at a time to troubleshoot. Power up your power supply without anything hooked to it first. Then if that works, connect a MakersDriver and see if it powers up and runs a fan. Then add one LED to each channel and see if they light and make sure the dimmers work. When all of those pieces work you can add the Controller last.

    Hmmm, make sure you go from + on P/S to + on first LED, then + to - down the line and you'll end with a - that you connect back to P/S. (Just do one LED to test if you can) You can also test an LED by connecting to a couple AA batteries to make sure it works. You might also make sure that your drivers are seated good. Mine went in pretty tight and I could see where if you weren't going straight in you might bend a pin underneath.

    It could also possibly be a blown fuse. It shows that you can replace it in their manual, but it involves soldering. Here is manual:

    I'm sorry, I don't have the tools to check power or anything, but I'll try to help any way I can. You could also email their support. They've got back to me really fast at all hours of the day and even on the weekend.
