FixHub won’t charge out of the box.
Just opened up my set I got as a gift. The iron works great but the hub won’t charge. I put it on a charger that reports draw and it just keeps cycling on an off at 0.1w. I also tried to connect it to my computer to see if the online tool worked but no luck. I have also tried 3 other usb c cables to no luck. I also took the unit apart and disconnected and reconnected the battery.
Guessing I may have a lemon but wanted to check here first…

@krisrodriguez Sounds good. I sent a message when I wrote this as well. Though I have not heard anything yet. What is the usual support turn around time?

Hi.
I just received my Hub today as well and I think I have the same problem.
I tried different chargers, normal USB-A to USB-C, USB-C 30W (Apple iPhone Charger) and an Apple MacBook Charger 60W and of course with different cables as well.
But, nothing helps to charge the station. The soldering iron works fine.
Is this another .. bad package :(
