Ridgid Miter Saw MS255SR 2012: Looking for the dust collector coming off of the blade.

Fri, 15 May 2026 13:20:29 -0700

It is the device having 3 screws which holds it in place. Left side has a fixed piece about 3" long, and on the right side has an additional piece the same length where the screws attach to it. The bottom has a flexible rubber piece acting as a scoop. Ridgid has no information any longer and cannot give me a model # for it.

any idea as to where I may be able to purchase it?

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: Suddenly stopped turning on

Sat, 09 May 2026 04:30:34 -0700

I have been using the soldering iron today, set it down for 1h, came back... and now it won't light up when plugged in. The web interface does not find it. I don't get an USB device plugged in sound (should it even do that?).

Any ideas on how to narrow down the error?

It is about 2 years old. I used it maybe 20 times since then.
I tried multiple power supplies but nothing seems to help.

Does anyone have any more trouble shooting tipps?

FixHub Portable Power Station: My Station is not charging anywhere near 2.25A at 20V

Fri, 08 May 2026 15:26:54 -0700

My Power Bank is not charging near it's 45W max through the rear port at 20V with any of my 65W power adapters.

This is not due to my chargers or cables as I have tried a variety of adapter cable combinations that all work with my other 65W+ USB C devices (laptops, etc.)

All of these chargers only delivered 10W when they support higher wattages on other devices:

Dell 65W (supports 20V 3.25A) --> only 10W

Chromebook 60W (supports 20V 3A) --> only 10W

ASUS ROG ALLY 65W (supports 20V 3.25A) --> only 10W

RavPower 61W PD charger with 100W cable (supports 20V 3A) --> only 10W

Interestingly:

30W Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim with 100W USB C cable was able to deliver 27W at 20V.

Insignia Nintendo Switch power adapter which only goes up to 15V was able to deliver 32W at 15V.

UGREEN Nexode mini 30W delivered 27W at 20V.

This is a strange pattern. The lower wattage adapters are able to charge at their max,

but my higher wattage chargers are being limited to about 10W.

I tested these while the battery was at about 25%

I have already updated to firmware 1.5.0

Air Compressor: Open Amp Sensor error in GD compressor

Wed, 06 May 2026 21:33:15 -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: Issues with latest Firmware Update

Sat, 02 May 2026 15:14:56 -0700

Hi all,

I recently updated the Soldering station and Smart soldering iron to 1.4.3, and went about with soldering no issue.

After a little while, i got an error on the screen of the station, asking me to update to the latest firmware.

When i plugged it into a Computer and opened the ifixit console online, it tells me that the update is not complete. When attempting to finish the update, it will install no problem, but then continue to tell me the update still isn't fully installed, and wont let me continue to solder.

Downgrading to a later update, such as 1.3.x, will remove the onscreen error, but wont connect to the soldering iron. Even when downgrading the tip, the error still persists.

Going as far as downgrading both devices to Version 1.x.x, it will still say that the update is incomplete.

After disassembling the device for a visual inspection, there are two LED's flashing on the inside. D4 seems to flash almost constantly, but with D6 flashing when trying to perform any sort of update alongside D4.

Currently stuck as i have soldering jobs to finish but a soldering station that doesn't work.

Any advice or a fix would be great.

Thanks in advance.

FixHub Portable Soldering Station: FixHub stuck in "Firmware update needed" loop after successful update

Sat, 02 May 2026 07:28:08 -0700

I have a FixHub Portable Power Station that is stuck in a firmware update loop. The screen displays "Station Error: Firmware update needed." I have successfully run the update through the FixHub Web Console using a data-capable cable connected to the rear port. The console reports "Update Successful," but as soon as I unplug the device and turn it back on, it displays the same "Firmware update needed" error.

I have already tried:

1. Performing a force shutdown (holding the Action Button for 10 seconds).

2. Attempting to update multiple times via the Web Console.

The error persists every time I power the device back on. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ryobi PSBCS02CN: Why do the lights on the tool keep flashing 4 times?

Sat, 02 May 2026 01:32:46 -0700

The tool hasn't been used in a few months since it did that while using it, but since then, when we try to use it, it just flashes. it's possible the motor could have over heated but I'm not too sure.
