PS: I should ahve said earlier that on the bottom of the soldering
station it says "230V 50Hz/60Hz" so I do not think the 60Hz is causing
the issue. Jens

Terry, I am not sure how the microcontroller would even feel the 60Hz,
but I ordered a special security bit that will let me open the housing
and inspect the electronics.
Charles, how would I check that? I don't think that it resets, though:
if you look at the beginning of the video I posted you see that there
is a brief display of the target temperature (400C) as well as the
unit system 'C' at the beginning. Now if the microcontroller would
reset, then this startup animation should show again I think. So maybe
it is something different?
Do you think I could hook up something in parallel that would smoothen
the signal?
Best wishes

Hi again,
Thank you for all your advice. I I am located in Alberta, far away
from Ontario, so I had to find some other solution. I should mention
that I live on campus (doing my Ph.D.) and so I do not have any
access to the breaker panel or any 240V outlets in the building. I
ended up getting the Krieger 450W step-up converter for around CAD
85 (including shipping),
So I hooked it up to the step-up converter and I get a very strange
behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC47kkjh1sc
how clean is the output of your inverter? some just output square
waves, which might be confusing the processor in your soldering
station. it almost looks like it is getting a "reset" and rebooting.
many folks have the same problem with inverters that run 110V stuff
of their 12V system in a Motor Home or car.
