Symptoms:

- While heating, the error flashes for ~1 second, the temperature display drops a few degrees, then heating resumes. This cycles repeatedly.

- Using firmware 1.5.0 on both Hub and Iron.

- Tip is a 1.5 Bevel.

Troubleshooting already performed:

- Verified tip is fully seated (clicked in, aligned below the surface).

- Cleaned 3.5mm contacts and internal handle springs with IPA.

- Disassembled the iron handle; internal soldering points for the socket are secure and show no signs of failure.

- Measured tip resistance at ~3 ohms at room temperature.

- Tested both front USB-C ports with the original cable (same result).

- Tested with third-party 100W cables (MacBook/IKEA), which resulted in Error #11 (No Data), confirming the hub requires the specific data lines of the original cable.

The intermittent nature suggests a thermal expansion break inside the tip's sensor circuit. Are there any known issues with this behavior or specific tests I can run to verify if it's the tip vs. the iron handle's internal logic?

There are no error codes displayed on the FixHub Power Station and the error log is empty.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

- Disabled both Idle and Sleep timers.

- Verified the physical switch is in the "On" (orange) position.

- Cleared the error log and performed a factory reset via the FixHub Web Console.

- Ensured firmware is up to date for both the iron and the power station.

- Tried multiple power sources, including the FixHub Power Station and a high-wattage USB-C PD plug.

- Reseated the soldering tip multiple times.

Despite these steps, the heater shuts off the moment it hits the set temperature. Is this a known firmware bug or a hardware failure in the main board or tip sensor?
