if its a bad solder, yes. Its hard to say though. You could contact them and see if they will send you a new strip.

It's usually one Diode failing within the 3 LED section which causes it to die or the SMD resistor going bad, unfortunately for most situations there isn't much that can be done.

So theres no way to fix it?

The other thing you could do is cut that 3 LED section out on the cut lines and solder the two piece back together, it will shorten the strip a little but will not have a blank or dark spot like there is now.

Thanks. Could i order a strip out of china and wire those to the phanteks without to many problems?

You could as long as they are the same type, but I would recommend something like theses using the SMD5050 LED if you want to DIY a new strip. There are also RGB version but will require a controller:
