Gregory Beat, W9GB, seems to be even more obsessive about his love 
for the Weller soldering stations.  (I only have three.;-))

Here is a couple of recent posts about Weller stuff from the forum:

The Weller station is still under Weller warranty -- IF less than 1 
year old.  I would definitely contact Weller / Cooper Tools for 
warranty repair.

Here is the Adobe Acrobat warranty informaiton, note that out of 
warranty work can be expensive.

Likely the problem is within the Weller base unit's electronics or 
possibly the temperature probe inside the iron.  Save yourself some 
$$ and hold off on an iron purchase that you may not need (this is 
NOT a TCP series - where an iron change is 95% possibility of the 
problem).  Call them Monday.

BTW, the fellow I talked to at Weller tech support, Bubba Powers, is
outstanding.  I left him a voice mail this morning, and he called me back a
few hours later.  He was also very helpful.  800-476-3030 is his number if
you have any Weller iron problems.

Hope this helps!
