I found this which I thought might be of interest.

He really needs to get a smaller soldering iron....

Hats off to anyone who tries to repair broken tools or appliances but in reality these are cheap consumables with a short life span. The system is designed to encourage us all to go on line and buy a new one.!

I like to defeat the system if I can!! Wink

Whatever he did, there was still a fair amount of sparking going on.

I would think you need to find out what caused the short in the first place or sure as eggs are eggs it will just happen again.
