A repair of my Supertemp soldering station.
From the looks of the board, I wonder if this issue was why I had gotten the station at such a good price to begin with! I'm guessing that it was working when I got it simply due to the failed solder joints being jostled during shipping.
The "Set" temperature was way off, but the read temperature was close enough for what I work with. I typically would leave it on the "read" setting regardless, and adjust as necessary when the iron got up to temp.
