U1 has 0,1V and dropping between Vin and Ground and Q1 has a small hole I did not see the first time.
Measured Q1 in diode mode while the device is powered down:

positive probe on 1 gnd on 2 : 0,63V
gnd probe on pin 1 positive on 2: 1,4V
gnd on pin 2 and pos at pin 3: 0,84V

Q1 is gone isn't it?

J3 is completely dead. Nothing on 3,3V or -0,6V I try to find out how I can find out how the darlington on Q1 works in the meantime.
You mean the LM2675M-3.3 Step Down on U1 right?

I found the schematic, it does not look much too complicated. So happy to have a device that features this.

What is the least amount of power I can feed the board while trace the fault back?
Can I Use a Lab Powersupply with grounding?

Thank you so much !

Oh well, I was soldering a lot of stuff and the tindie board went dead while doing so. I had the usb cable connected to my computer but have a plastic case. I first thought it would be the firmware again but there is something wrong with the power delivery. The whole station was never earthed.

Until my new display arrives:
Would the unisolder power on even without a screen ?
Where are good testing points to close in on the issue?

What happened to your display? Interleaved rows at the bottom are definitely caused by physical damage. Regarding two column image shift - check Sparky's post here http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/index.php?topic=7218.msg71563#msg71563


I damaged it a when I dissassembled the front because I bricked it. I uploaded the bootloader + firmware version first and then because I had said line, I uploaded the standalone over usb and bricked it.
The issue was there before that, even the rows at the bottom directly after I flashed the new firmware.  I will look at the board when I am home.

Could you recommend a display from aliexpress I can use to repair it?

Thanks!

I have some issues with the temperature and stuck in calibration.  The iron works fine besides that.
Since my 0,1 10 ohm resistor isn't here yet I took one with 5% (gold ring) and with 4 point measurement came to 10,476 ohm. I soldered the resistor into a connector I had laying around and stuck it into the frontside port between SenseA and Vout- as it is described in the guide.
Pressed the middle button for a time to get into the calibration menu. The R value is really moving fast. When I press the button long enough it eventually goes stable. I set it to 1047 because it is roughly 100 times the value since I couldn't get it to 1048.
The room temperature is accurate. I press the middle button for a long time again to get out of calibration mode.

I measured the temperature with a A class PT1000 and a MAX31865 chip based system and a 191 thermometer that came with the kit. Unfortunately the measured temperature is around 20-30°C under the temperature on the displayed on the Unisolder. I am using C210 original JBC tips.

How can I fix that?
