I had already uploaded this video, and had scheduled. But 12.03.24 Hakko Sent an E-mail and They Uploaded the Firmware V3.01 To Their Knowledge Base kb.hakkousa.com and that they are revising their repair manuals, We shall see if they release the schematics. My Live Stream of the Partial Right to Repair Compliance ua-cam.com/users/liveRbikjrgWo00 Expect updates as they happen. I will attempt to load the firmware soon. It will be a Live Stream.

I wholeheartedly support your efforts to ensure manufacturers fully comply with the Right to Repair laws. Non-compliance with these laws is both illegal and unacceptable. If the situation were reversed, these companies would waste no time prosecuting or penalizing repair guys or consumers. Immediate action, including prosecution or financial penalties, is essential to hold them accountable.
I greatly appreciate the work you are doing, as well as the personal resources/monies you have invested, to expose these companies’ deceptive practices.
Thank you for fighting for fairness and transparency. I stand with you!

As a repair shop owner, advocating for the Right to Repair isn't just a choice it's a responsibility. If securing access to schematics, firmware, and getting full compliance means burning bridges with a company, then so be it. Too few are willing to take that stand or the risks, but more businesses, technicians, and product owners should.

I'm beyond glad I never entered the hakko world years ago when I was considering it. One of the better choices I've made in equipment over the years lol. I've spent a lot of money on junk and had to learn the hard way 🤣

[@Rhine_Labs]

We shall see what happens, Hakko released the V3.01 firmware after my videos and me sending them a message with the id code. LOL Lets hope they provide schematics for everything soon. They seem to want to make a unnecessary manual LOL.
