The ADS200 I purchased from TEquipment in Jan 2023 crapped out a few weeks ago - a few days before the warranty was up. I turned it on, stepped away from the bench to grab the part I was about to work on, came back and the iron was smoking and glowing bright orange. I had the tweezers on it at the time.
Luckily support came thru and sent a new board and replacements for the tips that got destroyed, once I gave them the s/n. They mentioned something about a substitute component used during the shortages that wasn't up to snuff in the thermal regulation circuit. It seems my worry about the warranty about to expire was unnecessary - they said they would have stood by it if it was past the date...
I noticed the bad board has MOSFETS in Q2, Q36, Q37 labelled T06P10 and the replacement one, which you can see was reworked has DMP6023's in those places. I have some DMP6023's on order, gonna try to replace them on the old board since they didn't ask for it back, to see if I end up with a spare.
Other than that, I had a great first year with the ADS200 + regular iron & minitweez!
Edit:: the DMP6023's came in and I replaced the T06P10's on the old board. It is now working again. Only one of the 3 was actually shorted - Q2. Q36 and Q37 were fine.
