FixHub Portable Soldering Station: Intermittent "Tool Error: Sensor Disconnect" (Error #5) during heating - FixHub SLD101

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:48:17 -0700

I'm experiencing an intermittent "Tool Error: Sensor Disconnect" (Error Code #5) on my FixHub Portable Soldering Station during the heating phase.

Symptoms:

- While heating, the error flashes for ~1 second, the temperature display drops a few degrees, then heating resumes. This cycles repeatedly.

- Using firmware 1.5.0 on both Hub and Iron.

- Tip is a 1.5 Bevel.

Troubleshooting already performed:

- Verified tip is fully seated (clicked in, aligned below the surface).

- Cleaned 3.5mm contacts and internal handle springs with IPA.

- Disassembled the iron handle; internal soldering points for the socket are secure and show no signs of failure.

- Measured tip resistance at ~3 ohms at room temperature.

- Tested both front USB-C ports with the original cable (same result).

- Tested with third-party 100W cables (MacBook/IKEA), which resulted in Error #11 (No Data), confirming the hub requires the specific data lines of the original cable.

The intermittent nature suggests a thermal expansion break inside the tip's sensor circuit. Are there any known issues with this behavior or specific tests I can run to verify if it's the tip vs. the iron handle's internal logic?

Air Compressor: Open Amp Sensor error in GD compressor

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:05:57 -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 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.
