I just had to do it... WTF is this more info in the User Manual then the Repair Manual  :-DD

SteveThackery:
How to totally misunderstand the word "classified". Way to go!

Please don't drink coffee during the video - the sound effects are revolting.

Sooooo… your first complaint is that they aren’t adding more info than what’s in the user manual, even though their user manual provides FAR more info than most companies’ user manuals, and more than many companies’ repair manuals.

Second complaint is that they don’t provide component-level troubleshooting and repair guidance. I’d like to see this too, but I don’t think one can reasonably interpret right-to-repair law as requiring this.

Hakko explicitly says that they provide you with the same repair documentation provided to their own technicians. So this means they don’t let their technicians do component-level repairs, which is standard industry practice and has been for a long, long time. (Whether we like that or not.) I don’t think you could reasonably argue that you are entitled to more documentation than their own technicians are.

Third complaint is the repeated mention of insulation testing. Ummm… that’s not an indication of a design flaw, it’s simple, sound advice that I’m sure their lawyers made sure they included.

And yeah, they didn’t say anything about classified material, in the sense of confidential material. They were simply stating that sidebars fell into one of several categories, namely warnings, cautions, and notes, and defining what each means. Classification ≠ confidentiality.

Overall, from the start to the end, the video makes you sound like an unreasonable crank, and the few valid points you do make get lost in the “grandpa yelling ‘get off my lawn!’” noise.

If anyone thinks Hakko sucks when it comes to service information, try dealing with JBC....
