KSGER T12 – soldering station review
It sucks: ★☆☆☆☆
Ok that's not true. It might be OK. I wouldn't know since the one I got from Banggood came in broken. The screen displays ERROR message no matter which soldering tip I put in.
I've disassembled the handled to find the reason.
Cool... Well at this point the this goes here remark was an assumption. I've quickly confirmed it by finding this schematic.
The green, resistor like object is apparently a mercury switch. I assume it turns on the heat when you point the soldering iron downwards? Not sure to be honest, and at this point... don't care that much. I just need a soldering iron that works. I can't fix it because I don't have a second soldering iron... I'll fix it at work.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll write an update saying: it works.
2 days later...
And I can't say it works because it still doesn't... cool.
