I have emailed recovery@ifixit.com multiple times with no reply. Still waiting on confirmation and credit.

Happy to provide tracking number and full details privately.

Thank you.

Despite everyone's amazing efforts, we still don't have an answers to as many questions as we like. FixBot can help fill in the gaps where we have repetitive questions, low effort questions, or just didn't have the right expert on hand the day the question came in.

We are going to start with a few experiments:

1. Prompting the user for more detail for their question
2. Reformatting questions to be more useful
3. Answering old, stale and unanswered questions. (Like this and this and this.)

When we answer questions as FixBot, we want to be respectful in how we do it. We're initially thinking of having FixBot post like any other community member, with posts that can be voted up and down.

What do you think? How can we make this helpful and additive to the community? What kind of safety checks would you like to see in place?

I know it can also be used as a pd power supply. When i plug in my s24 ultra, my s23 ultra, or my friends s24 plus it will only output 2.2 watts.

However using the very same usb cord my steam deck will charge at 46.8 watts.

When i have my phone plugged in and charging at 2.2 watts, i plug in the solder iron into the other port. It automatically switches the display, i press the blue button to change the display to the side my phone is on, it goes to 18.9 watts.

Then i unplug the solder iron and temporary drops to 0.5 then up to 27.2 but after about one minute drops to 9.6. But my Samsung has 45 watt charging. Yes fast charging is on. And my steam deck will happily take 45 watts from the ifix it station.

If my solder iron is plugged in first, then i plug in my phone it will only ever go to 2.2 watts for the port my phone is in. If i unplug then plug in the iron it goes up.

This is all with the solder iron physical switch off.

If i turn on the solder iron the 18.9 drops to 9.0, i get that as the iron needs a lot of power so I totally understand when the iron is turned on that the output of the second port be lowered.

Now when i have my steam deck plugged in and it is drawing 46 watts, i plug in the iron, still turned off but plugged in, the side for the steam deck goes down to 18.5. If i turn on the iron it drops to 17.0. That is perfectly expected.

It seems the stations is cutting power back from the steam deck in anticipation for the iron to be used.

if i plug in my phone and steam deck, the deck charges at 26.4 and the phone only 2.2, then i unplug the deck and the phone goes up to 26.2.

i plug the deck back in and it goes to 37.9 but the phone goes to 15.3.

If i only plug in the phone it only ever charges at 2.2. Ever.

I have updated the iron and station software.

It is a very high quality usb cord capable of 100 watts.

I tried turning off and on the station, phone and deck.

It seems to me there is a bug in the power delivery and i hope i provided enough details for it to be sorted out.

Ifixit said to report it here but i found no option to report a bug so i hope this is the right place. If not can someone please tell me where.

It will be rare that i use the station as a battery bank to charge my phone so this is not a big deal for me, but it may be for others.

But even the existing ecosystem doesn’t seem to be evolving. There are no new soldering tips, and firmware updates mostly focus on fixing old bugs while introducing new ones.

Here are two suggestions for future development:

• > the ability to adjust the temperature starting from 50°C
• > a new tip designed for installing heat-set insert nuts

I can log into Answers OK but when clicking on my avatar in an Answers page to get to my account there's no response.

However, when I change from an Answers page to a Parts page for example (or any other page, Tools, Community etc), clicking on my avatar works and I can select options in my account e.g. Notifications, View profile etc.

When I'm in my account, clicking on my avatar also doesn't work - no response.

Therefore I can't log out from either an Answers page or my account pages. I have to log out from a different page e.g Tools, Parts etc

I can navigate through Answers pages and within my account with no problems.

To add to this the 'Header' is now a triple space where only a double should be present at most ideally a 1 1/2 line to be more readable and not over do the white space as seen here.

As an example here in this post but it's not altered into a larger font when I created it and with a Sub header...

The visible font gets greyed but its size is no different to the rest of the text! So only after you save it it shows the correct font size and font color Bold in a header and Grey in the Sub Header.

Also note there are Seven hard returns present in this post which will get lost if one looks at it again in edit as you can see in this image

Here's today edit as we can see nothing has changed. Here's an image of the Answer

And here's what you see in edit mode

In this case we do have a hard return between the older entry and the new, but we lost the font and size of Update and even my attention here to bold it is not visible in this write up after hitting the menu button, here I had to use three Stars * to make it visible.

Looking at the adhesive kit for the 4th gen iPad Pro 11" 4th Gen (2022) Adhesive Strips And then the 3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9" (2018/2020) Adhesive Strips

Why such a big jump? I could see maybe double but this is 34 times more expensive!

We have someone needing to change the battery of his 4th gen iPad Pro very confused! Battery Replacement and Adhesive Strips

1. FixHub Portable Power Station: Stuck in a persistent "Unfinished Update" loop. Despite successful flashes to version 1.4.2 via USB-A/DFU mode, it immediately reverts to an error state, indicating a hardware-level firmware failure.

2. Digital Caliper: Arrived with a defective display (missing segments).

I am located in Norway and have already completed all recommended troubleshooting steps for the Power Station. Previous attempts to email support have gone unanswered.
