Hi,
I received my Pinecil, purchased March 31st, yesterday.
I powered it with an old laptop power supply (21v - I checked it).
I played with the menu for 5 minutes or so, then I tried my first soldering...The temperature barely reached 314C (and oscillated from 310 to 314 during that time)...it lasted 10 seconds or so (just the time to tin the tip and try it on my solder wire...and it died.
Since, not powering up, no USB registration if I plug it into a computer....I think it is dead.
Any similar experience? Any hint? I opened a ticket early this morning, but no answer so far...
It is really frustrating to wait for 3 weeks...for less than 10 minutes of lifetime...
