ZD985 flashes on randomly
« on: December 14, 2017, 12:05:58 pm »
I have a ZD985 Desoldering Station that randomly turns itself on momentarily.  :scared:
  • Power cable plugged into AC.
  • Front rocker switch set to OFF position.
How can I fix this? Is my house going to explode?

Wow, this reminds me that i wanted to open a thread about that as well.
I'm not at home right now, so i'm not sure if my desoldering station is the same model, but it seems i have the same phenomenon happening.
Plugged in, switched off, every few minutes i see a very short flash from the display, and i hear a sound coming from the station.

I'm in germany,so i do not have polarized plugs, could that be an issue? I have not yet tried to reverse the plug.

It works fine when i use it.

Ok, mine is different.
The handle looks the same, but different color. I'm sure i saw a video with the same one as mine on either EEVBlog or BigClive.
I think it's ZD-915, but i'm not fully sure.
