I grappled with a formidable challenge involving my JBC Hot Air Rework station. After languishing in storage for several years, with in weeks a critical sensor malfunctioned. Despite my earnest attempts to procure a replacement sensor from JBC, Tools they regrettably declined to sell the sensor or provide a replacement part # if it was an off the shelf part, significantly amplifying my struggle to restore the equipment to working order. Frustrated by that roadblock, I began exploring alternative options and eventually pulled the Hakko 472D tractor from storage and embraced Hakko as my preferred choice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wiI7pd\">Fast forward to the present 2023, where I am in the process of upgrading my soldering station, transitioning from my Dual Hakko FM-203\/2024 setup. The Current <a href=\"https:\/\/hakkousa.com\/products\/soldering\/soldering-stations\/fx-972-dual-port-station-only.html\">Hakko FX972<\/a> offerings are Not Multi Station\/ Tool \/ Stack Bench Friendly. I Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weller-tools.com\/us\/en\/homepage\">Weller<\/a> (Apex Tool Group) is not quality anymore and they have poor styling and Gave <a href=\"https:\/\/paceworldwide.com\">PACE<\/a> a good look PACE does Support the Right to Repair but their offerings were not to my liking and some of the reviews I read was a flat No thanks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metcal.com\">Metcal\/OKI<\/a> I am not a fan of the RF units change the tip to change the temp stations and their styling is awful with a hideous orange color.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>September 2023, I welcomed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbctools.com\/ddse-2-tool-rework-station-product-1622.html\">JBC DDSE-1QD<\/a> into my workspace it is a comprehensive package featuring the DDE-1C, MSE (Electric Vacuum Source), T245 handpiece, accompanied by the DR560-A desoldering handpiece. While my initial inclination leaned towards the MVE-A vacuum source, enticed by it&#8217;s serenely quiet operation, ideal for uninterrupted video production, the JBC DDSE-1QD with the MSE stood out for its competitive price tag.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone has a Pneumatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbctools.com\/mv-a-pneumatic-desoldering-module-for-di-product-161.html\">JBC MVE-A Desoldering Module<\/a> that they want to trade for am Electric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbctools.com\/ms-a-electric-desoldering-module-for-di-product-160.html\">JBC MSE-A Desoldering Module<\/a> I am Interested.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wiI7pd\">The price was right so I opted to put the JBC system to the test. This trial phase will undoubtedly illuminate whether this transition aligns seamlessly with my workflow and merits a full-fledged commitment adding another DDE-1C and the T210\/Am120 Tweezers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Changing platforms is not a low cost venture, I must emphasize that my previous encounter with JBC Tools significantly informs my current cautious approach. However, I will remain open and objective and give an assessment based on the outcome of this new experience.

It is a big usefulness issue with the Desoldering tool. I Have messaged JBC about it Awaiting their reply. Lets hope it is something simple like a firmware issue. Lets hope they respond soon I will give them a quick chance before I go deep in to the issue.<\/p>\n<p>JBC must have changed hardware or something and the desoldering tools would not come out of sleep \/ hibernate unless the soldering tool was picked up on both units.<\/p>\n<p>JBC&#8217;s customer service is really poor don&#8217;t even think of trying to call them in Spain for assistance. JBC will say contact JBC USA and JBC USA will send you to a rep the rep will take the info and send it to Spain for a reply when they feel like it and the US rep&#8217;s customer service communication skills are horrible.<\/p>\n<p>It took about 2 weeks to get someone in tech support via relay thru the sales rep and they sent a custom firmware up date a few days later it seems to have to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132996 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue-1024x433.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"501\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue-1024x433.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue-768x325.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JBC_tools_craig_morris_dde_firmware_patch_desoldering_sleep_hybernate_issue.png 1476w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Current Firmware DDE-1C is <a class=\"bbc_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbctools.com\/software\/HDE_DDE_NAE\/8886867.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8886867<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-133001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE-1024x329.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE-1024x329.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE-768x246.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE-1536x493.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-12-19-at-13-37-22-DOWNLOAD-SOFTWARE.png 1730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe Firmware they sent me is <a class=\"bbc_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stevenrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8886875.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8886875<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I only updated one unit and I can reproduce the issue on the second unit and make a video.
