    I would definitely recommend it to anyone just starting out and wanting a cheap hot air station. The pump is a bit loud, but that just encourages me to turn it off after I use it, even if I'm going to need it again in a few minutes. Maybe that's why it's lasted so long. Mine came from Amazon too.

            Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

            Desoldering station/gun above ZD-915/474A++ ?
            by caprider
            Hello,

            I've been looking for a desoldering station (with sucker pump) for THT in the 100€ +/- price range.

            After reading and and watching a lot of reviews, I've noticed that ZD-915/ZD-8915/474A++ kind of .... well, suck. With different design faults making them get clogged way to easily, real difficulties to open the sucked solder tank, 12V cooling fan powered at 18V and so on. Another funny thing is that the same models are sold by a lot of different brands with just a different color and sometimes just different label. I can't even find the manufacturer that makes...

            18VDC PSU completely dead - ZD-915 desoldering station
            by armini
            Hi everyone!

            Three years ago I got a ZD-915 desoldering station which failed just after a few months of light use. During a short desoldering session, the station simply shut down, and since then it has been completely dead and unresponsive. The failure was silent, without any pops.

            Due to a lack of time, I set it aside and didn't look at it.

            Yesterday, I took it apart and did some basic measurements. The 18v terminal shows 0v. In addition, there is no visible damage to the board itself.

            According to replies in 18VDC PSU has dropped to...

            Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

            I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

            Desoldering station ZD 915 no indications, no heating
            by rippergr
            Hello all,
            I tried to power on my desoldering station ZD915 today and altough the LCD has power and it's on I don't have any indications on the screen and the gun is not heating at all.
            I open it up and I don't see any visual fault anywhere.
            Does anyone has any clue what should I check?
