stuck to sleep mode pinecil v2 - lilibit - 11-01-2023

hello dear pinecil comunity, i just unpacked the beautiful iron and tried out functions. i've put it in sleep mode by pressing minus-button on start screen some seconds (iron-crossed-icon on screen) and now i don't find the way back out. powering off and factory reset did not help. hope it's a stupid/easy question which can be solved by pressing the right buttons .. can anyone help? thx in advance!

Just press "+" key for a second and Pinecil will heat up again.

Thx for your reply, tllim. Found out that the problem was a different one: the heat-module of the tip broke after firste heat-up. Iron-crossed-icon told me that it could not be recognised anymore.

Here are some options:

1. Simple wake up:

    Unplug and replug the Pinecil: This is the simplest and often the most effective solution. Unplugging and replugging the iron will usually reset the sleep mode and bring it back to life.
    Hold down both buttons: Try pressing and holding both the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. This should force the Pinecil to wake up from any sleep state.

2. Check firmware:

    Update the firmware: If the above methods don't work, it's possible that your Pinecil is running outdated firmware with a sleep mode bug. Head over to the Pinecil GitHub page and download the latest firmware update. Follow the instructions carefully to update your iron's firmware.

3. Advanced methods:

    Reset the EEPROM: This will erase all your settings and customizations, but it can also be a solution if the sleep mode issue is related to a corrupted configuration. Instructions for resetting the EEPROM can be found on the Pinecil wiki.
    Contact PINE64 support: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact PINE64 support for further assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting tips or be able to offer a replacement if your iron is faulty.

Thx for the options-list, @kabbert ! Found out that the problem was a different one: the heat-module of the tip broke after firste heat-up. Iron-crossed-icon told me that it could not be recognised anymore. Got a new one, solder happy Smile
