I can help as needed but I am a cruse, let's see if someone closer jumps in. looks like ceramic adhesive came loose on the one LED. As long as LEDs are not blown, should not be big deal

Really easy. Check to see if any contacts are touching heatsink. Double check each led is running in parallel.. + to -, + to - etc. Go to radioshack and pickup a multimeter to test the driver. I have a driver and thermal paste here at my place if u need it. Does anything happen when you power it up? Flash? Do the LEDs have an burns in the center? Make sure you have + from driver to + on led. It's touch to tell by pictures.

I'm sure there are plenty of help in the area. Your corals are fine without for days without likes actually. people do black out therapy for 3 days with their tanks for certain algae problems.

Great job Jay! Happy to hear that your lights are back online Moe. And I agree with Nino, your corals would have been fine for a few days w/o the lights.
