Hakko Investigated By Californa Attorney General Right to Repair Violations
KG7AMV:
We had a Partial Win... In regards to Right to Repair.
I am Not sure its because of the Attorney General Inquiry, The video I made attempting to back up the firmware of the FM-203 that was a success or Both!

I sent Hakko an e-mail with my results with the in system programing id code via their online form at the Japan Headquarters site.
A day later I received this E-mail Letting me Know they have uploaded the FM-203 Firmware V3.01 and they are revising their manuals.
Sure Enough the Firmware was on the http://kb.hakkoussa.com including the same id code that was raveled in my video.
This is a Win, But a it was a small win and only partial compliance right now, I hope the revised manuals he mentioned in the e-mail are not malicious in nature like the last ones https://youtu.be/NPWd-xQcGzw and include full schematics. I do not expect them to create "new manuals" they can just release schematics and firmware at min. that would be compliance. But I think them making a manual is a stall tactic or something else.
I expect nothing but full compliance from these companies.
I will make another video loading the firmware to my FM-203. Everyone should sign up to their Knowledge Base then send an e-mail to techsupport@hakkousa.com requesting access to service documents and firmware.
