After request they confirm, with the modifications my rigol is on actual harware level HW 01.01.
Today I got mine back - And the fan noise is dramatically lowered 8)
Also the display looks brigther than before, I´ll try to make a picture to compare (with nearly the same ambient light, could be difficult).
Of course they don´t give any further information about the mods taken, in the delivery note there are only two statements about:
- Maintenance of the whole machine to reduce fan noise
- Maintenance of LCD display for more brightness
Nevertheless, I´m very satisfied with the mods. :)

My unit's (purchased May 2019) LCD looks OK and the fan noise is low, but HW is 01.00. I contacted Rigol USA and asked about the mods.
Elminster:
I got my MSO5000 in May after waiting for a month, or so, for them to come back in stock. I am assuming the new stock have all the fixes as I have never had an issue with the fan, and the brightness is down at 20% on mine and plenty bright enough in a sun-facing room with a big bay window. But it still says hardware 01.00.00 so not sure they actually incremented the number.
Regards.
Martin72:
I´ve asked them (rigol service) directly, if my scope are with the mods equal to those with 01.01 and they answered "yes".
But still the "old" hardware state will be shown.
I think, they modify all the scopes which were already produced(and not shipped to the sellers), simultaneously totally new produced doesn´t need the mods anymore and this will be marked by the 01.01 state.
