That soil looks dry you can see it break free from the edges of the pot? Hard to see correct. Just thought I’d get it started 

does that pot have drainage holes?

The soil is still moist and the pot is heavy :). Underwatered plants usually don't have that middle (dark green) line, tips are mainly yellow, from my experience, although I might be wrong :).

If it has recently been moved from shade to sun or if the leaf tips have grown to the point where they are getting more sun than the rest I could make a case for sunburn.  Overall though, it looks more like overwatering.

It starts from the very tips and goes all the way down till the whole leaf is dead, and the plant eventually... Sunburn - with no dark green line either :)

My guess is damping off from overwatering. Seedlings are very prone to that esp. if potting mix doesn't drain well. Again, does that pot have drains holes?

Yeah, these are peat pots. I think the soil is too compact and doesn't drain properly. Must have watered too often. Guess I have to wait till the soil dries out completely, especially root area, otherwise it won't stop. This is the only way to save them.

Your not alone I have a bunch of dypsis look kinda similar but not as bad. All my seedlings get the same soil conditions etc to start but yet they have struggled. I repotted with my special mix of well Draining and put them in partial shade

Although I avoid chemicals and almost never use them, I'll try to use Previcur fungicide on them. Let's hope it works.
