Cant access ESP32 after restart

After installing WLED on my new ESP32. everything worked great. Set WiFi and led’s. Verified everything was working. disconnected from my laptop. moved it to the final location and nothing. verified pins. could not comunicate with the ESP32. Even when i reconnected it to my laptop. Tried resetting, re-downloading WLED, and the only thing i get is a solid red light. any suggestions would be a big help. I should probably mention this is my first try\attempt to DIY LED’s.
