I'm starting to doubt this more and more. Dumping the ROM from a read-only chip and flashing a new one isn't rocket science.
After watching stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqWhId-tQXs&t=9m31s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqWhId-tQXs&t=9m31s
and guys like Dave Jones and Louis Rossman, it looks like the entire repair industry is long due for disruption.
Sure, finding old or obsolete parts will still be a problem, but not impossible.
