Hi Peeps,
Have recently acquired a soldering station.
Seems to operate OK, except that the green pause LED does not appear to function.
Am assuming that the pause LED indicates when the station is not heating the iron?
Have let it sit for 5 mins, and the iron reaches the set temp, but the green LED doesn't even blink.
Tested it with a 3v lithium and it turns on (better with 2 lithiums in series, to give 6V)
The wires (red and white) from the green LED, plug into the circuit board, along with two other wires that come from the top two pins of the iron socket (black and green)
Have taken a photo of the circuit board where this connector plugs into. (it's the smaller brown connector)
Is this looking like a fault in the iron, or a problem with the circuitry?
