Outside the box, plugged into a USB-PD charger, the screen did not work.

Followed up with online tech documents, plugged in the device to my PC, and visited FixHub Console, which successfully detected the device. After being prompted to update to firmware 1.4.0, the screen finally turned on. The device shows a charging animation. After a while, to see if the battery would charge >0%, the device screen flashed "Battery Error, tool shutdown". When Attempted to plug into a USB-PD charger, a similar error popped up.

Replugged it into the PC, following the same instructions to update the firmware to 1.4.0 (again), and was notified of a successful update (again). However, the same Battery Error fault persisted.

I submitted a ticket to support under "other", but I'm unsure if that was the correct choice. I'm submitting a question here in case this is the correct method.

I just purchased my FixHub Soldering Toolkit today and decided to upgrade to the latest firmware. It came with 1.0.3 and after upgrading to 1.0.7 it no longer detected the soldering iron. I decided to downgrade back to 1.0.3, but this errored during the 'resetting device' stage after it uploaded the firmware.

The display no longer shows anything at all and the device seems to not power on. I opened it and disconnected the battery for 10 minutes then reconnected it and tried to power it on with no luck.

I can put the device into DFU mode by holding down the silver knob while connecting a USB cable to the back port. It will load up in the web console, but it still shows 1.0.7 on the device and no downgrades succeed nor will the device power on.

Please help!

I am unable to turn on the power station. It does not seem to do anything after pressing the action button. Also tried the 10 second hard reset but nothing happens.

After hours of charging nothing happens. There is supposed to be a battery icon displayed while charging but the screen remains black.

I tested with different -verified working- USB-C chargers and cables but nothing work.

Any suggestions?

Am thinking this would be via a terminal session, as the "knob" doesn't seem to show this option.

Also, is there any documentation on the CLI serial commands?

Some, like mcu-sn or toolinfo, are fairly straightforward, but am wondering if there's a comprehensive list of the other commands, similar to a man page.

I purchased the FixHub and it works wonderfully except for one small issue. When powering the iron off, after a while I will receive a battery charging halt error at 98%.

otherwise the iron works fine and discharges and charges as normal. Is this just a visual error, or is there something I should look into? I am on firmware 1.0.5

Thanks!

Not finding any usable help anywhere as third party apps to "Install" a serial port don't really seem to do that. Has anyone with a mac been able to update the soldering Iron firmware and if so I'd appreciate some help...

Replacement battery packs were sold out here so i bought a DIY spot welder and six Molicel batteries. I replaced the cells and tabbed it the same way i saw it when i disassembled. I can read 4V from pos-to-neg on each cell. they all have the same chemistry (i drain/charge checked them).

I get 2.0V across the terminals/connector but I can't get the power station to come up.

I was able to hard reset the station and upload the latest firmware (1.4.3 at this time, i believe).

Is the BMS on the battery dead? is the pack not serviceable?

I would've just bought a replacement pack and called it a day but I'd like to try and salvage something from my attempt here.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would like to request a feature be added to the power station firmware -- if something other than a soldering iron is connected, it would be great if we could get per-port voltage/current information. From a cursory look at the schematics, both of these metrics are sensed by the hardware, so it would be great if we could see them when a plain power sink is connected to the battery.

Great product! Thanks for reading.

However the display is still not functioning. Any help/tips appreciated.

It would be really great if the B01 is automatically recoverable.

the blue action/power button stopped working (doesn’t click, pressing it does not power on).

I’ve followed the instructions for disassembly up to removal of the front cover to diagnose the issue and the button on the UI board itself seems to be the most likely culprit (“mushy”, doesn’t click). Tried gently moving it and pulling on it with tweezers a bit thinking it might dislodge it somehow but to no avail.

The fixhub is basically new, I’ve got it as a gift as part of the soldering toolkit and used it twice, so paying for a replacement UI board for repair seems unjustified.

I’ve reported the issue to customer service but I wonder whether there is anything else I could try (perhaps some magic fix I’m missing being new to this) in the meantime, while waiting for a response. Thanks in advance.
