@pasqualede79807 , Thanks for posting, and sorry you’re running into this.
A small number of FixHub Power Stations can enter a deep sleep mode during storage or transit, which makes them look totally dead — even after charging overnight.
There’s a firmware update you can run from a computer that usually brings it right back to life.
Here's what you'll need:
- A USB-A to USB-C cable (important — USB-C to USB-C won’t work for this step)
- A Mac or Windows computer
- Internet connection
A quick head's up:
If you’re using both the Power Station and the soldering iron, they each need to be updated separately. Just run the process twice — once for each device.
- Head to iFixit Web Console
- Plug the Power Station into your computer using the USB-A to USB-C cable
- Follow the instructions on the page to update the firmware
- (If nothing happens at first, try holding the power button while it’s plugged in — that usually wakes it up.)
- Once that’s done, unplug the Power Station and repeat the same steps for the soldering iron
After both updates, things should work normally again. But if you still aren’t getting any response, feel free to reply here and I’ll help troubleshoot further.
