      The local electronics store here prices everything like the Internet and competition doesn't exist. They also still think the Canadian dollar is nowhere near parity to the USA dollar.

      How they stay in business is a mystery to me. They must get a lot of government business with my hard earned tax dollars.

      For the same item, they are charging $140 with their "new lower Canadian pricing".

      The rate of my actual fixing things has slowed down a lot. I do more "virtual" repairs now that anything. I would love to get this station though.

          Hakko 950 SMT hot tweezers but no base or stand
          by redwire
          I got gifted a Hakko 950 SMT hot tweezers but no base or stand.
          Any suggestions for building one?

          "The 950 is compatible with the Hakko 936, 937, 939, 703, 926, 927 and 928 soldering stations." Apparently it has two heaters in parallel "24V 50W", one RTD temperature sensor 43-58Ω at room temp. 5-pin DIN.
          I don't have any of those, have a 470-2 (no RTD in) and a FX-888A.

          ASUS PD551LA REV2.0 not booting after one week power off
          by megcox
          Hi everybody
          My ASUS PD551LA (REV 2.0), after a week powered off with power adapter disconnected, is not booting anymore.
          If I plug the adapter, the battery is charging, the power led lights but after pressing the power button there is no sign of life.

          I've found the Boardview file of the motherboard and the schematic of PU551JA (that looks 99% compatible).

          I've disconnected the battery and all devices except screen (I removed also the RTC battery, hope it's not a problem at this stage...) and checked all signals and power rails involved in the power on s...

          Finally bit the bullet on the Hakko FR301
          by jayjr1105
          I've been eyeing this thing up for years but could never justify the cost. I'm doing more console modding and repairs so I finally bit. I don't have it yet but wondering others opinions. I'll not be surprised to hear "you should have bought X instead". Unlike the hundreds of decent Hakko soldering iron clones, I didn't feel the chinese desoldering clones came anywhere near this unit....

          Hakko FX-888D toroidal transformer upgrade to 240V
          by nickBcap
          Hi,
          I was using a Singway 120-240V < > voltage convertor from Ebay but it was not good enough, it popped and the fuse in the Hakko blew also.
          I have been looking at replacing the Hakko 110V transformer (I can trade the transformer if anyone needs it) with a toroidal transformer.
          I have looked at projects and they seem to have been successful but also seem to have used single Voltage Out toroidal transformers. But, the only toroidal transformers I found all have dual 12V or dual 24V Voltage Out.
          It seems I should have to use a single Voltage Out toroidal transformer...

          Hakko desoldering gun help
          by RepairNewbie47
          Hi all new here great forum !

          Ok so my issue is slightly different to the norm probably .

          I have a Hakko 900c soldering station with a iron and a desoldering gun , the gun is completely destroyed which is a shame , however someone gave me a gun from a duratool ZD-915 and ZD-917 machine which is very similar looking , not as durable I dont think as the old Hakko but my question is , would it work and how should I go about wiring it ? I no longer have the Hakko one for a reference which I`m kicking myself about so thats a pain . The Cheapo one has 6 pins and the hakko...
