Hi Everyone,
Just signed up here specifically to post about this one ...
I ordered a 858D from Aliexpress and just received it. It is Branded as a "Sumsour"
It appears to have a new PCB design that hasn't been mentioned anywhere that I can find.
PCB Model: KSD858DP
REV B PCB Date: 2020-04-22
Assembly Date: Oct. 2020
I've disassembled and found almost none of the problems listed for other models.
The wand doesn't have the interconnect board I've seen & has an actual connector to the heating element. (I did get a spare with the purchase too)The grounding seems to be firmly attached to the metal shroud as well.
The only header is labeled: SCK SDA GND VCC RST
From an assembly standpoint, the only things that weren't ideal were:
1) Case Ground
There is a crimped & soldered ring terminal attached to the metal case via machine screw.
However, The paint was not removed prior to connecting.
Continuity test did show a pretty good connection anyway, but I still corrected, just in case.
2) Power Cord (IEC)
The internal wiring of the unit was fine. Fuse on the proper pin and all that.
The
CABLE was wired incorrectly. N & L switched.
Presumably a batch of discount cables that didn't meet QC.
I didn't have another cable handy, so I haven't actually tested the unit yet, so I don't know how the firmware operates yet.
I should be able to dig out a spare sometime soon (I hope)
I was able to quickly snap a few pics before I had to head out.
(Forgot to grab one of the front of the assembled unit)
Any ideas if the firmware can/should be updated on this one?
(I figure at some point, they're probably just going to start using one of the custom ones anyway
)
