Help with 3rd party Controller for LIFX Strip

So the controller / wireless chip for the LIFX Strip I purchased many years ago (Circa 2016) has died (aka out of warranty) and I am looking to purchase a new controller to operate the lights.

I have two sets, so I was able to isolate the controller as the issue by mixing and matching strips / power supplies / controllers between the two sets.

I am looking to purchase a new 3rd party controller, but I am not sure what I should be looking for (The closest I got was the SP108E on this page: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004989435773.html). Any help / suggestions in this regard would be most appricated!

The strip has 4 pins, and the LEDs are individually addressable, and full color.

The LED strip seems to have a 5050 SMD chip interspaced with a 3020 SMD LED Chip (I am guessing here based on google fu and looking at the chips)

The controller chip front and back can be seen here:

(Power comes in at the top, and controller goes out at the bottom)

Hello, Yuuzhan
I was just wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem?
I have an extra lyfx light strip and just purchased a 3rd party controller on amazon but i didn’t do nearly as much research as you, cos i’m a fool haha
and surprise surprise, it didn’t work when i plugged it in so i’m guessing it isn’t compatible.
