Thanks.. I might want the specs. It occured to me that the triac might not be warm because the iron might be messed up.

:) Ah... the plot thickens. Starting at the xfrmr... 120VAC in / 26VAC out. There is an LM340T5 that's pretty warm to the touch and opposite of that (board location) and connnected to the iron is a L4004F91 which is apparently a triac made by Teccor (couldn't find an F91 though). The triac has a lar...

So far all I've found is a cheesey manual. <p>Anyone here have any experience with Xytronics hot air equipment? I hesitate to "do" hot air since I know nothing about it. Just in case...

:) I like my gee whiz iron so I'm going to see about fixing it or getting it fixed. I lost power again right after I posted (which is really odd. I don't even lose power in TRW's much less calm days) so I didn't get a chance to open it up. The display indicates 326 which is probably some kind of tro...

Well crap... About an hour ago, out of the blue, the power went off. I was right in the middle of cussing... I mean soldering, som chip resistors to a board that I've been waiting on. They finally turned the power on my my soldering station has shot craps. It won't heat the iron. The display works. ...

I thought that I was the googlemeister but this one has been hard to find. I can find PDF's on how to use it but I can't find a place to buy the @#(&*@# thing... It's s serial interface module for an LCD screen. It's made by Hitachi. Jameco doesn't have it. Digikey doesn't have it...<p>From what...

Lot's of good ideas but I'm afraid she's stuck. I can't risk ruining the entire board. I'll just lose some functionality...

Well... you know how you should read the instructions, reaad the instructions, and then solder in the component? I didn't do that. I soldered in an LED array when it was supposed to have an IC socket. The board is double sided with plated thru holes. I spent about an hour with solder wick and my iro...
