Only a small part of my rgb led strip lights up and where the light stops, the copper connector seems to be a bit broken and it gets hot only in that small spot after a while. How can I fix it without soldiering?

Probably not but I will concede to not having "hands on" experience attempting such repairs.

Overall, most products are being made to not be repairable or repairable only with experience and careful effort.

However, depending on the risks and possible loss of your purchase amount - you could attempt a repair.

First try a return to the seller since the RGB strip is defective. If the seller declines then try a repair.

The repair will most likely require you to cut out a section of RGB wires and then solder the remaining sections together.

Most likely a very sensitive and delicate process requiring some soldering skills in the least.

Get to the point of "nothing left to lose". Then try your own fix - soldering, shrink wrap...
