I received my TS80P soldering iron yesterday. Using the provided cable and usb charger, the soldering iron will not heat up. I push the "A" button which should engage heating, the soldering iron instantly restarts.
I have tried changing target temperature, changing minimum voltage, different higher power (up to 100w) chargers, and it always restarts.
I tried upgrading the Firmware, but the problem still persists.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you.

Re: TS80P Always restarts when heating
I think the provided USB cable is bad. I used a different cable and it works! I tried the provided cable again, it fails.
Miniware (the brand of this TS80P) should really be sure to ship a good cable.

Glad to hear you got it working!
I don't recall any other reports of dodgy cables, but we'll keep an eye on it.
