Default Question about Weller AG700 soldering station

could somebody who owns, or has access to, a Weller AG700 hot air
soldering station please get in touch?


It's easier to post your question about it here, so someone may be able to
help even if they've heard about the problem or question, or if they have
any advice which may be helpful.


I know. I just did not want to clog the group with issues that only someone
can resolve who has access to said soldering station :-)

My question is how the LED in this soldering station behaves while the AG700
is heating up. In all Weller stations I have worked with so far, the LED
either
was always on, always off or blinking regularely, depending on whether the
station was currently heating up or not. The station I have in mind does not
show any such behavior. Instead, it flickers fast and irregularely all the
time, regardless
of whether the station was just switched on or has been on for an hour.
Moreover, I have the impression that the hot air isn't hot enough, I can
just
barely remove even the tinyest components in the 500 degrees setting.

I'm looking for someone who can check his one AG700 or have a quick look
in the manual to find out if this flickering is normal or not. I just bought
this
station, so I have no idea of whether it is always that way.

Thanks a lot
