Two year old video and you fixed my stress for the day!! Thank you very much for the video.

[@craigkarsten6719]

Thanks for info. I thought the unit was broken. Now it works great.

[@andyfrey7918]

This was super helpful! Thank you! I thought I was losing it when I couldn't get my trusty FX-888D to make stuff stick together anymore. 350º and it works like brand new. Woohoo!

[@ajshell2]

Thank you so much! I accidentally went into the "adjust" mode instead of the "set" mode, so knowing how to reset the adjustment has just saved me from needing to buy a thermometer of some kind to properly adjust it.

[@Farizno]

Wow, this was exactly what I needed!! I was getting so frustrated trying to solder and not getting heat transfer. This fixed me right up! Thank you!!

[@shaundburch]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I knocked my station off the table a while back, and it has never heated up properly since then. I came across your video and it worked perfectly. Appreciate it!

[@leonarnold]

This is exactly what happened to me. Was very frustrating. Watched this and performed reset. Soldering station is great again. I felt a bit silly but it's an easy mistake to make. Thanks much!

[@junkname9983]

THANK YOU! I thought my soldering station went bonkers or my tips are bad or something but now it's back to normal and it didn't cost me a dime

[@justin3594]

This happened to me. I’m pretty sure it was my fault though. If you hold down on up instead of enter to change the temp, it actually puts you in a calibration mode. So when I thought I was cranking the temp to 450 I was actually telling the Hakka that it was 100C high. So then when I set to 350C I was actually only getting 250C. The reset brings it back to factory calibration. I have a feeling this happens to a lot of people.

[@hove131]

This may be my issue. Not enough heat transfer for the board to take any solder. Never had any issues with it. I do mess with changing tips so I very well could've done this also as I forget which button to hold down etc.

[@ka24det]

Dude same here. Just fixed mine 2 minutes ago thanks to this video.

[@jefftrainer7128]

I think I did the same thing!

[@justin3594]

@@jefftrainer7128 so frustrating. I actually went out and bought an expensive JBC thinking that the hakko was just crap. Then after the reset it worked great again. Well I’ve got two stations now.

[@NickelCityPixels]

WTF?!?!? Also, thanks.

[@jippenfaddoul]

Worked like a charm, thanks for making this video!

[@TheGuitarlad]

Exactly what I was needing. Fixed the issue.. thank you

[@magicmanspaz]

Thank you. Fixed my iron. I noticed for some reason it just was not getting hot enough to solder even though I had it set on 480c. now it solders better than it did on 350c and 480c it will solder large wire to copper plate.

[@christianvillorente3276]

Thank you! This helped so much!

[@JulieBrandon-geekycow]

Happened to me. Interference from a mini Tesla coil kit I think. This fixed it!

[@worapongchun7012]

It works. Thanks man! Problem solved.

[@gerardjachymiak5822]

Next time I need a soldering ion ,as I'm currently using the one that comes with sunko spot welder, I'll buy this one

[@nicolozak]

Same though , i have a sunkko 709ad and as longer it works I will stick with it

[@aelohinjuz]

Awesome 👍

[@hove131]

I'm having a similar issue. Been using my unit for 2-3 years with no issues and today it was taking solder fine to the iron but there wasn't enough heat transfer for the board to take any of it.

[@davesdigitaldomain]

thankyou, a fix 4 me.

[@alanmccabe8009]

thanks worked for me too :-)

[@DIYwithBatteries]

Wow 😃 Cool stuff Sir, nope it's Hot. lol

[@Setherian]

I have bought two in my life, one FX888 and one FX888d, both gave the same problem of not heating properly, hate this shit!

[@rocketsalad]

where/who did you buy your hakko from?

[@jefftrainer7128]

saved my ass!

[@naiefelyemeni1986]

mine doesnt show the A ? just blinks 01 ? the temp goes to 130 and slowly climbs but only gets to 170? But tip is red hot! I measure with temp gun and it was 1000 degrees!! why? i bought another handle (copy) and same exact issue! i think the unit itself is bad or the sensor inside the unit?

[@alfonsobotana9402]

Mine as well, did you manage to find what the error was?

[@albertfussi4102]

Have same problem, no A, just 01, and it does not keep the degC setting, shows weird numbers and gets red-hot. Any possible solution?
