FixHub Portable Soldering Station: Touch-Safe indicator blinking blue.

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 09:29:16 -0700

My screen on my power station is not functioning, and I was able to still use my soldering iron using the touch-safe indicator for power on and heat up indication. During a recent job my soldering iron stopped heating up and started steady blinking blue.

Before the heat up blink was more of a slow pulse as it started turning orange. My firmware on both the power station and soldering iron is up to date and matching.

I could not find what the steady blue blink represents in any of the documentation. I'm still waiting for parts to become available to replace the screen.

Air Compressor: Open Amp Sensor error in GD compressor

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:45:10 -0700

Hi

I am working on Gardner Denver Compressor model Electra Saver.
I recently came across an error message Shutdown 'Open Amp Sensor'

This error message popped up within few minutes upon turning on. There is a light on the Compressor motor as seen in above pic, don't know what it means. The motor doesn't get hot.

After pressing Reset & then Constant run, the compressor runs, in most of the cases - all day. But sometimes it stops after running for few hours with above error message.

I tried to look thru the manual but couldn't find above Error message.
Any thoughts what this error is for & how to fix it?

Thanks

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: Smart Soldering Iron doesn't heat up, blinks blue 3x when on.

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 09:56:52 -0700

I'm using the iFixit Smart Soldering Iron with an iFixit 65 watt fast charger. Plugging them on together causes the indicator LED to just keep flashing blue 3 times fast.

I just updated the firmware and reset settings on the web console.

I'm using the provided USB-c cable.

What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't the manual have the error codes for the LED indicator light in a troubleshooting section?

FixHub Portable Power Station: Action (power) button not working; Power station works when plugged in

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:39:48 -0700

I have an issue with the power station that had worked previously (albeit not out of the box - it required the firmware fix to charge properly) and still works when plugged in to power:

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.
